Guide arrive for start Half day Soweto tour.
Soweto is a sprawling township, or more
accurately, a cluster of townships on the
south-western flank of Johannesburg. Soweto
was created in the 1930s, with Orlando the
first township established. In the 1950s,
more black people were relocated there from
'black spots' in the inner city - black
neighbourhoods which the apartheid government
had reserved for whites.
With a population of over 2 million, the
township is the biggest black urban
settlement in Africa with a rich political
history. Soweto was the centre of political
campaigns aimed at the overthrow of the
apartheid state. The 1976 student uprising
started in Soweto and spread to the rest of
the country. Many of the sights on this
route therefore have political significance.
From the footbridge of the Chris Hani
Baragwanath Hospital, the largest on the
continent, one can get a panoramic view of
Soweto.
Visit the Hector Pieterson Museum in Orlando
West, Soweto, built in memory of the people
who died that day, 16 June 1976.
Nelson Mandela's humble little house in
Orlando West, Soweto, now called the Mandela
Family Museum, is an interesting stopover
for those keen to imbibe a slice of
authentic history on the world's most famous
former prisoner.
The museum, a house comprising four
inter-leading rooms, contains a rather
eclectic assortment of memorabilia,
paintings and photographs of the Mandela
family as well as a collection of honorary
doctorates bestowed on Nelson Mandela from
universities and institutions around the
world.
You can also have a glimpse of the mansion
belonging to Winnie Madikizela-Mandela in an
affluent part of Orlando West. Archbishop
Desmond Tutu's house and the Sisulu
residences are in the same neighborhood.
