About Johannesburg

Johannesburg, Südafrikas dynamisches Wirtschaftszentrum: kraftvolle Geschichte, lebendige Townships, Kunst und Ausgangspunkt vieler Safaris.

Das Apartheid Museum erzählt mit großer Wucht die Geschichte von Segregation und Widerstand, und Constitution Hill, ein ehemaliges Gefängnis, in dem sowohl Nelson Mandela als auch Mahatma Gandhi inhaftiert waren, beherbergt das Verfassungsgericht. In Soweto ist die Vilakazi Street berühmt als die Straße, in der zwei Friedensnobelpreisträger, Mandela und Desmond Tutu, einst wohnten, und das Hector-Pieterson-Denkmal erinnert an den Schüleraufstand von 1976.
