Tour Description
Soweto may sound like an African name, but the word was originally an acronym for "South Western Townships", a product of segregationist planning.
This tour gives you the opportunity to gain a new perspective and personal insight into the largest Black city in Africa. Soweto is synonymous with the struggle for freedom in South Africa and is a vibrant, culturally rich township situated on the outskirts of Johannesburg. Within Soweto you will see the Hector Petersen Memorial, Regina Mundi Church, Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, Mandela House, Freedom Square
Lunch is at Wandies –originally a ‘shebeen’, today it is a cross between a tavern and a restaurant, where you will be offered traditional local food. The tour is conducted by a specialist Soweto resident and guide.
