1 February, 1 MarchWe are traversing every inch of historic Pretoria on this adventure!
Starting at Melrose House we stroll via Loreto Convent and City Hall to Bosman street church and church sqaure. We take a look at hidden history of Pretoria:
Why were 2 presidents in trouble for minting a pound? Who said the devil doesn’t exist? Why was Loreto convent filled with Sandbags?
We are fortunate to be able to explore the Ou Raadsaal building in detail. From the president’s offices to the copper bars that pull out of the walls. Janet will tell tales of poverty and opulence as well as greed and corruption.
We go back to Melrose houe via Burgers Park to discuss the presidency of the ZAR's most infamous president!
Arriving back at Melrose House for a full tour lead by the curator
This is a one-of-a-kind experience that will leave you pondering history for a while.
The fee is R325 that includes a visit to Melrose house and the ou Raadsaal building.
