Robben Island - Tour of the Island

The guide (left) and Mr. Mohammed - who was a prisoner here due to his involvement in the PAN (Pan Africanist Congress)  Formerly involved in the AMC - African National Congress.  During the Apartheid years.

We took a bus tour of the island.  It is a very small island.  But families of workers lived here.  There were 2 churches on the island.
