Additional Information
A half-day tour of Soweto township provides a chance to immerse yourself in the essence of a bustling city within a city. Discover the history, culture, and lively lifestyle of Soweto. Established in the 1930s, Soweto began with Orlando as its first township. During the 1950s, more black residents were moved there from inner-city black neighborhoods, which the apartheid government had designated for whites. Soweto’s expansion was remarkable but unplanned.
