Soweto, which stands for South Western Townships, is a large, vibrant township located on the outskirts of Johannesburg, South Africa. Here are some of the things that make Soweto unique:

Rich history: Soweto played a pivotal role in the fight against apartheid. In 1976, student protests that began in Soweto spread throughout the country and became a major turning point in the struggle for racial equality. Soweto is also home to the Hector Pieterson Museum, which commemorates the 1976 uprising, and the Mandela House, where Nelson Mandela lived for many years.

What To Expect

Constitution Hill Human Rights Precinct

Soweto's history is a story of struggle and resilience. Here's a quick rundown: Origins in the 1930s: Established under Apartheid to segregate Black people from Johannesburg, Soweto began as a collection of townships. From Shantytowns to Townships: What started as slums became a permanent Black urban area with some government services by the 1950s. Hotbed of Anti-Apartheid Activism: Soweto residents became a driving force against racial inequality. The Soweto Uprising (1976): A pivotal moment. Students protested the forced use of Afrikaans in schools, sparking a major rebellion that gained international attention. *JOHANNESBURG AND SOWETO FULL-DAY PROGRAM *Visit to constitutional hill and constitutional court-Guided tour *Chancellors house-Mandela & tambo law firm *Mandela bridge *Houghton estate *Mandela house museum and Tutu house *Informal settlement *Three classes of Soweto *Hector Pieterson memorial site *Regina mundi church *Freedom square *
