Soweto is the most visited township in Africa, attracting many international travelers everyday. There is a reason behind.
The Township deeply laid its founding roots from a very humble beginning back in 1904. Finally we see Soweto becoming a lovely home to many Africans including our global icons, Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela. Our Soweto tours depart seven days a week in several times to accommodate all our guests traveling time
Above all Soweto is made up of three economical classes i.e the upper class, middle class and lower class which is marked by a stone throwing distance demarcations. A city at its own is a home to everything and everyone, from shopping centres, schools, sports, health institutions, churches, restaurants, music entertainments, pubs or shebeens, street markets and many informal business.

While there are so many living stories that took place in the Township, Soweto mostly gained World's fame through Students' uprising on this day of 16th June 1976. This was a demonstration for educational rights. After the introduction of Bantu (to the black students) educational system in 1954 the department were not convinced to be more than enough. In 1974 they commanded the use of Afrikaans language as a medium of instruction only to the black students. This was truly a poisonous education aimed at destroying the future of the blacks. 16th June is well represented in this Museum. Join us on this tour for more insight about the Soweto students and this day.
