Discover the Inanda Heritage Route: A Journey Through South Africa’s Richest Historical Sites

Ohlange Institute
Begin your journey at the Ohlange Institute, founded in 1900 by Dr. JL Dube, the first president of the African National Congress (ANC). This landmark institution is not only significant for its role in education but also as the place where Nelson Mandela cast his first democratic vote in 1994, making it a symbol of South Africa’s commitment to democracy and freedom.

 

The Mahatma Gandhi Settlement
Your tour continues to the Mahatma Gandhi Settlement, established in 1904. It was here that Gandhi refined his philosophy of Satyagraha, or passive resistance, which would later influence movements for justice around the world. Walk through this peaceful settlement and gain insight into the foundations of Gandhi’s ideals and the legacy he left behind.

Inanda Seminary
The Inanda Seminary, founded in 1869 by American missionaries, is the first secondary school for African girls in South Africa and one of the oldest on the continent. With its rich history of empowering young women, a visit to this institution is a powerful experience that highlights the impact of education on South African society.

Join us on the Inanda Heritage Route for an unforgettable experience that honours the people, movements, and places that helped shape our country’s history.
