It is ironic that a turbulent and painful history presents some of
the most magnificent opportunities available for tourism and
traveling in South Africa. Despite the symbolic and developmental
importance of this area of tourism, there have been few serious
attempts to capitalize on the resources provided by the history of
resistance to Apartheid. The number of heritage-related
developments, currently in progress, offer the prospect of a
network of sites linked to struggle travel across the country.
Currently however 'struggle tourism' is largely confined to the
major icons of struggle history, namely Robben Island and Soweto.
These are indeed important and evocative places that should not be
missed but they are certainly not the only sites of interest - the
diversity and complexity of South African historical experience
remains largely hidden from view. Gradually however a richer
tapestry is being revealed, and travelers are increasingly able to
experience more of the tragic yet remarkable history of this
country.
