Itinerary

Day 1

Soweto must be the worlds most famous township, with an estimated 3 million inhabitants and more people move to Soweto everyday in the hope of finding jobs in or around Gauteng, the heartbeat of Southern Africa.

What makes Soweto a special township to visit is the fact that it was where the Mandela family lived for most of the struggle against Apartheid.



A series of 22 individual exhibition areas in the Apartheid Museum, assembled and organised by a multi-disciplinary team of curators, film-makers, historians and designers, takes the visitor through a dramatic emotional journey that tells a story of a state-sanctioned system based on racial discrimination and the struggle of the majority to overthrow apartheid. They include provocative film footage, photographs, text panels and artefacts illustrating the events and human stories that are part of the epic saga, known as apartheid.
