What began in the 1930s as an extension of the Apartheid government’s mission to maintain a divide between black and white people, has now grown into one of the biggest townships in South Africa. We call her Soweto. She’s an energetic pool of gold; rich in history and culture, an oasis for local music, home of the pantsula and the bookkeeper of a few lifetimes of stories.
Her’s is a rag to riches story… She went from being an ostracized space which borders the land of milk and honey, Joburg, to now being a renowned tourist attraction, the place to be when the beat drops and host to Vilakazi Street.
