Importance of the Constitution Hill in South Africa
It is important for our youth of today in South Africa to know what our great leaders and ordinary people of our country went through for us to gain freedom and equal rights in this country
Its shows us the conditions that people were treated for unfair equality, judgment and misconduct that the past government had put in place.
The constitution hill also briefly illustrates what South Africa’s past was like as there was apartheid and non-whites had no rights.
It is important for our history and what made SA what it is today and because many of our great leaders and freedom fighters have been in the constitutional hill.
It is an important part of history because it shows the democratic state that South Africans were in before 1994 and the pain, struggle, grief and unfair advantages that the government had put in place against non-whites
Living conditions
In the jail.
The living conditions in the constitutional hill was very poor. The cells that people had lived in were mostly overcrowded and over populated. The environment that they lived in was very dirty and cluster phobic. The people that were imprisoned had a poor diet and usually didn’t get any or had little health treatment. The cells were very small and they usually contained about 20-30 people inside it. The people imprisoned were treated like animals and peasants and did not care about peoples human rights and peoples sense of pride as they were not given any.
Life outside
The life outside the prison was also a very tough and inhumane. All on-whites had to carry a pass for which enabled the people to walk around the town, and if they were not seen carrying these passes they were imprisoned. People had to constantly be aware of what they say and what they do
