Constitution Hill Human Rights Precinct

Soweto's history is a story of struggle and resilience. Here's a quick rundown: Origins in the 1930s: Established under Apartheid to segregate Black people from Johannesburg, Soweto began as a collection of townships. From Shantytowns to Townships: What started as slums became a permanent Black urban area with some government services by the 1950s. Hotbed of Anti-Apartheid Activism: Soweto residents became a driving force against racial inequality. The Soweto Uprising (1976): A pivotal moment. Students protested the forced use of Afrikaans in schools, sparking a major rebellion that gained international attention. *JOHANNESBURG AND SOWETO FULL-DAY PROGRAM *Visit to constitutional hill and constitutional court-Guided tour *Chancellors house-Mandela & tambo law firm *Mandela bridge *Houghton estate *Mandela house museum and Tutu house *Informal settlement *Three classes of Soweto *Hector Pieterson memorial site *Regina mundi church *Freedom square *
