A guided walking tour in Bezuidenhout on Wednesday 7 October will trace the years Indonesian independence leader Mohammad Hatta spent in the neighbourhood.
Hatta lived and studied in Bezuidenhout from 1921 to 1932, developing his political ideals before being arrested and held in a prison in The Hague.
During his detention, he wrote his freedom pamphlet, Indonesia Merdeka.
