Archbishop Njongonkulu Ndungane, the Archbishop of Cape Town, will lead a group of South African leaders on a Pilgrimage of Reconciliation and Hope to the prison on Robben Island in March.

Many of the leaders, including the Archbishop, were imprisoned on Robben Island during the apartheid years. The Archbishop said of the pilgrimage: "It will be an opportunity to mark the cleansing of the island, and its reclamation by all South Africans."
