Soweto is an urban area of the city of Johannesburg in Gauteng, South Africa, bordering the city's mining belt in the south. Its name, an English syllabic abbreviation for South Western Townships, refers to its origins as a Black township under South Africa's Apartheid government. The population has historically been overwhelmingly Black and some of the watershed events in the struggle against Apartheid occurred in the township.

Hector Pieterson Museum and Memorial
The Hector Pieterson Memorial and Museum, situated in Orlando West, Soweto, commemorates the role of the country’s students in the struggle against apartheid and in particular the role played by the school children who took part in the Soweto protests of 1976, many of whom were shot by the apartheid police while protesting against the sub-standard of education in black schools in South Africa.
Apartheid Museum
The Apartheid Museum, the first of its kind, illustrates the rise and fall of apartheid. An architectural consortium, comprising several leading architectural firms, conceptualised the design of the building on a seven-hectare stand. The museum is a superb example of design, space and landscape offering the international community a unique South African experience. The exhibits have been assembled and organised by a multi-disciplinary team of curators, film-makers, historians and designers. They include provocative film footage, photographs, text panels and artefacts illustrating the events and human stories that are part of the epic saga, known as apartheid. A series of 22 individual exhibition areas takes the visitor through a dramatic emotional journey that tells a story of a state-sanctioned system based on racial discrimination and the struggle of the majority to overthrow this tyranny. For anyone wanting to understand and experience what apartheid South Africa was really like, a visit to the Apartheid Museum is fundamental. The museum is a beacon of hope showing the world how South Africa is coming to terms with its oppressive past and working towards a future that all South Africans can call their own.

5.00We only had one day in Joburg and we were scheduled on the one day Soweto & Apartheid Museum Tour. Spurwings is a very professional touring company, Their drivers and guides are great, so courteous, they give all of the information we needed to fully understand what we were seeing. This is an eye-opening tour. What the African freedom fighters went through to accomplish freedom for their people is emotional to see. We must never forget what it took for them to get there.
Great tour

5.00An excellent tour of Soweto and the apartheid museum. Our guide, khutso, was fabulous and brought local knowledge. The company very professional to deal with. We were picked up from our accommodation and returned 6 hours later. Everything was included except food which we had a chance to purchase at a couple of stops. The history can be powerful and moving, but worth seeing and hearing about.
Awesome tour

5.00Kulani picked us up at exactly the time indicated and was a wonderful tour guide. He was warm, friendly knowledgeable and personable. It was a long day with so much to see. Kulani was so informative and made the long day go by quickly. The tour was well worth the time and money. The Apartheid Museum in and of itself is amazing. You honestly need at least 4 hours to go through it with the care it deserves. Unfortunately, this tour does not allow that much time, so if you want to spend a significant amount of time at the museum, you should go on your own.
Powerful Sites, Amazing Host
