This is a mini documentary of ex political prisoner Sipho Msomi's experience being imprisoned for six years on Robben Island, South Africa along with many other political prisoners working toward ending apartheid.
Robben Island is the prison where Nelson Mandela and other ex political prisoners spent many years of their lives. Nelson Mandela spent 18 of his 27 years in jail imprisoned on Robben Island. Our tour guide, Sipho Msomi tells us his personal experiences of what it was like for him to spend 6 years imprisoned on Robben Island.
Robben Island means Seal Island, and is about a 30 minute boat ride from Cape Town, South Africa. The view from the Ferry of Table Mountain and the Cape Town skyline and surrounding mountains is remarkable.
This tour was beyond moving for me to witness first hand Mr. Msomi's account of standing up for what is right to the point of being willing to sacrifice years of life in prison for equality of all people.
Sipho Msomi's name means "gift". His life sacrifices were a gift and his life living and speaking the truth now is such a gift. Thank you doesn't say enough but it is worth saying again and again to all who choose to live their lives in congruence with theri values.
THANK YOU
