About this activity

Explore the South West Township City of Soweto on this history filled Tour. This tour will take you deep into South Africa's black only Township where the history of Apartheid traces its roots from.

Some of the houses were built during apartheid days and the dark past is demonstrated in two iconic museums called Hector Pieterson and Nelson Mandela House Museum with each having a deep sad past depicted in the photos at both museums.
