You could have guessed it, it was closed on account of maintenance, a neat little notice decorating the gates and acrid fumes emerging from the locked doors. There was nobody in sight to complain to. Dang!, it would have been nice to know the place was closed down, but this is so typically what has become of the administration in South Africa.
I checked the web site an hour before I left town and on coming back I did so again: NO WARNING posted there. What is the good of a web site you may ask. Hell if I know...
I can only hope this happens to visitors to Freedom Park too, that would only be culturally fair, don't you think?

Bad luck. But I agree with you about the administration in South Africa. Notice should have posted on the website.
