Soweto - acronym for South Western Township - is home to over 2 million people. We take you through the streets of the sprawling township of Soweto, scene of the tragic riots in 1976. Despite crowded, chaotic conditions there is a sense of community in these neighbourhoods. Few who venture into Soweto are unmoved by what they witness.

The Apartheid Museum takes visitors on a fascinating, horrifying, humbling and inspiring journey from the dark days of 'whites only' privilege through to Nelson Mandela's historic release from prison.
