Here’s a refined version incorporating the interesting detail about Victor Verster Prison:

A Touch of History: Victor Verster Prison

As we journey between Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, keep your eyes peeled for the imposing structure of Victor Verster Prison (now Drakenstein Correctional Centre). This medium-security prison played a significant role in South Africa’s history. Notably, Nelson Mandela spent the final 14 months of his imprisonment here before his release in 1990. A large statue of Mandela stands proudly outside the prison grounds, a powerful symbol of resilience and hope.
