Conference Facilities - Lilliesleaf Farm ( Conference Venues and Conference Centres in Randburg, Johannesburg )

Liliesleaf occupies a momentous place in South African history and socio-cultural evolution, as it was the site responsible for breaking the resounding political 'silence' of the 1960s. Originally purchased in 1961 by the South African Communist Party Liliesleaf is recognised by the ANC as the birthplace of Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), the military wing of the ANC and the Congress Alliance. Liliesleaf's Board of Trustees has embraced the need for a wider public audience to hear the stories of South Africa's political past and has created an interactive museum experience to preserve the stories of the past so that they can be told to future generations.

Set to open in June 2008, Liliesleaf will narrate the liberation activities that took place on the property 44 years ago through informative interactive and experiential displays. Complementing the physical infrastructures which once housed the deepest secrets of a nation in racial turmoil, Liliesleaf has established the Resource Centre to broaden the channels of learning about South Africa's political history and democratic identity. This research centre will avail authentic struggle literature and documents pertaining to the apartheid era, and it is envisaged that National Archives will undertake the upkeep of the Archive Centre. The Resource Centre will form part of the Learning Centre which also showcases the historical buildings, Liberation Path, and the Liberation Centre. Once complete, the Liberation Centre will house a creche, curio and coffee shop, an information and ticket reception, permanent and temporary exhibits and a sixty-six seat auditorium. Liberation Centre will also mark the beginning of the visitors' 'journey of enlightenment', from struggle to liberation to transformation. The world-class auditorium will show an introductory film which will set the historical and political context for the visitor. From the Liberation Centre the visitor will make their way through the historical buildings and structures which will offer them an interactive experience.
