Soweto Township Tour

Soweto Township Tour

Soweto, the trendiest township in South Africa, is truly a lifechanging experience. From the 1950s Soweto became an epicentre of political campaigns aimed at overthrowing the apartheid state, and in 1955 it was the location where 3 000 people came together to adopt the Freedom Charter - which is what the South African Constitution is now based.

Take in the sights of the city where Mandela once lived and Mahatma Gandhi started his legal career.

Hear about 2 of the 20th century’s most famous liberation heroes in the city where they started their legal and political careers. Follow in the footsteps of Mahatma Gandhi and his Passive Resistance (Satyagraha) Movement, and Nelson Mandela with his Defiance Campaign.
