Soweto and the Apartheid Movement: 'Rise to Freedom' Tour

Full Day

South Africa’s largest township, Soweto, will captivate you with its historic and cultural richness


Overview
A storage vault of history and culture of the African people awaits you at South Africa’s largest township - Soweto. An acronym for ‘South Western Township’, Soweto stands testimony to the segregation of the blacks by the white colonisers. One of the most stark reminders of apartheid is the Hector Pieterson Memorial, named after a 13-year old student who was shot during a student demonstration against apartheid laws.

Revisit the days of apartheid and trace South Africa’s struggle for equality at the newly-built Apartheid Museum. Get a first-hand experience of segregation with your entry cards which are assigned based on the colour of your skin.

This journey into Africa’s history will be as true to the senses as it was during the apartheid movement.
