5.00Walking tour with Nkuli and a French guide because we do not master English well. It was an extraordinary experience rich in information but also emotions! We wandered through the neighborhood to meet its population and very difficult living conditions. Visit to a school that is part of an associative project to help the most disadvantaged. Congratulations for your commitment! Thank you for this indispensable visit to understand the history of the neighborhood and the apartoeid.
Very generous guide for visitors and Soweto kids
