The Apartheid Museum
South Africa's history of black oppression is chronicled in this
building, situated near Gold Reef City. Relics of the Apartheid
system, which banned non-whites from certain areas and from
receiving an education, as well as forbidding interracial
relationships, can be found here, right down to a bench marked for
'Whites Only'. Visitors often describe the experience of the
Apartheid Museum as 'heart wrenching', but at the same time find
the story of the struggle over adversity inspirational. Due to
graphic content, the museum does not allow children under the age
of 11.

the larger hotels. ATMs are widely available (there is a daily
limit for cash withdrawals) and major international credit cards
are widely accepted, except in petrol stations where cash is
required. Visitors should be vigilant when drawing cash from ATMs,
as con artists are known to operate there. Travellers cheques and

but commission is charged, otherwise all commercial banks will
exchange them.
