The initiative, supported by Gauteng tourism partners, aims to foster social cohesion and make national heritage accessible.
Free tours run throughout the day, with advance online booking recommended to manage attendance. The event forms part of broader festive season efforts to promote local tourism and engage communities with the nation's complex history, emphasizing reconciliation as an ongoing process.
