Soweto is fast turning into a favoured tourist destination. The Queen of Soweto, Regina Mundi’s church, Soweto’s largest Catholic church, was built to commemorate her contribution to the struggle against apartheid. A visit to the Apartheid Museum helps gather an understanding of the condition as it was during apartheid. It transports one into that era, when the townships of Soweto suffered from apartheid.
One of the main attractions of Soweto is Nelson Mandela’s modest home, which attracts many tourists. The Hector Pieterson Museum is another place worth visiting. The beautiful gallery of photographs successfully recreates the trauma of apartheid.
When in Soweto, do make sure to visit the ghetto’s most popular restaurant, Wandies. Located in Dube, it is a mandatory stop on the way to Soweto, and popular with both the locals and the tourists alike.
