We are traversing every inch of historic Pretoria on this adventure!
Starting with a full tour of Melrose House we stroll via the Station, down Paul Kruger Street to City hall and Church Square.
On the square we take a deep dive into the history of Pretoria and the Zuid-Afrikaanse Republiek!
Burning questions you can expect answers to:
Why were 2 presidents in trouble for minting a pound?
Who said the devil doesn’t exist?
Oom Paul's earring and thumb - fact or fiction?
What happened to the Kruger Millions and did Slim Jannie bag a few?
What does a hat have to do with the Ou Raadsaal?
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 house via Burgers Park to discuss the presidency of the ZAR's most infamous president!
This is a one-of-a-kind experience that will leave you pondering history for a while.
The fee is R370 that includes a visit to Melrose house and the ou Raadsaal building. Limited tickets available.
