Explore the diversity and history of Soweto with a local young guide who will be giving knowledge about pre and post-apartheid Soweto and insights into how the people of Soweto, especially the youth are living today.

The tour will start at the Hector Pieterson Memorial, where you will be learning about one of the critical points in the abolition of apartheid in South Africa called the 1976 Soweto Uprising. This was when young heroines, like Antoinette Sithole, were brave enough to protest against the apartheid regime, and young heroes like Hector Pieterson were killed fighting for the liberation of South Africa.

Get a chance to see the former home of Arch-Bishop Desmond Tutu and share key knowledge about what made him so prominent.
