SOWETO CULTURAL GUIDED TOUR

SOWETO (South Western Townships) is Johannesburg’s famous southwestern township, created during apartheid to house Black African workers away from the city centre. It is not a single suburb but a vast urban area of over 30 townships. Soweto is the historic heart of the struggle against apartheid, home to landmarks like Vilakazi Street (where two Nobel Prize winners, Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu, lived) and the Hector Pieterson Museum. Today, it is a vibrant, dynamic city in its own right, pulsing with energy, culture, street life, and a strong sense of community.
