Overview and how to participate
A visit to Long March to Freedom is EDUTAINMENT, easily connecting learners
and educators with the life and times of the persons so vividly depicted in
bronze, lifting the stories off the pages of the text books, and complimenting
the work in the classroom.
The activities are curriculum themed and suitable for learners of all ages and
academic grades. Public and private schools alike have equal acclaim for the
experiential impact on learners as well as the capacity to creatively give access
to history and heritage. LMTF is an exceptional tool for creating a sense of
national identity and pride in children.
Visits are scheduled :
Monday - Friday, 09:00 - 13:00.
Cost :
R60 per learner, including gift backpack and stationary. One educator per 10 children free.
Maximum :
60 learners per visit.
Please complete all required fields in the booking form.

to give preference to 'no-fee' or lower quintile schools without the means
of arranging such a visit, and those recommended by the Western Cape Department
of Education. Private and Quintile 5 schools should send a mail to
