Soweto is a township of the city of Johannesburg, bordering the city’s mining belt in the south. Its name, an English syllabic abbreviation for “South Western Townships”, refers to its origins as a Black township under South Africa’s Apartheid government. The population has historically been overwhelmingly black and some of the watershed events in the struggle against Apartheid occurred in this very township.
On this tour you will discover Soweto and the surrounding area, driving past a hostel in Diepkloof, the well-known Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, Orlando Power Station, Winnie & Nelson Mandela’s former house (entrance fees not included), Desmond Tutu’s House, and enjoy a visit to the Hector Pieterson Memorial.
