The Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa at the V&A Waterfront offers free entry for African citizens between 10 am and 1 pm on Wednesdays. Visitors can remain in the museum until 6 pm. Guided tours are available from Monday to Friday at 12:30 pm. The Labia Theatre in Gardens presents a mix of mainstream, independent, foreign, classic and alternative films, with pensioners qualifying for the concessionary ticket price of R60.\n\nCultural outings are available at the Iziko South African Museum in the Company's Garden, where South African pensioners receive a reduced admission price of R40 on presentation of valid identification. Free entry is available on Fridays for South African pensioners.
