Route

1. While there are so many living stories that took place in the Township, Soweto mostly gained World's fame through Students' uprising on this day of 16th June 1976. This was a demonstration for educational rights. After the introduction of Bantu (to the black students) educational system in 1954 the department were not convinced to be more than enough. In 1974 they commanded the use of Afrikaans language as a medium of instruction only to the black students. This was truly a poisonous education aimed at destroying the future of the blacks. 16th June is well represented in this Museum. Join us on this tour for more insight about the Soweto students and this day.

2. The towers is one of Soweto landmarks and is the most popular spot for both local and our visitors. A pub or shebeen one of perfect spots exhibiting real township charms. Spend some few minutes walking around or have some refreshments. We may possibly convert the stop here for local braai lunch or dinner depending on the choice by our guests.

3. Regina Mundi Church is a name given to the Catholic Church in Soweto. The church is highly honoured considering the role it played en route to liberate South Africa from the tyrants of Apartheid Government. Lot to be exposed during the tour.

About Pretoria

Pretoria is South Africa's administrative capital in Gauteng, known for jacaranda-lined streets, the Union Buildings and sites of the nation's history.

Pretoria sits in a valley between ridges of the highveld, about an hour's drive north of Johannesburg. The Union Buildings, a sweeping sandstone complex on a hill with formal gardens, is the seat of the presidency and the site of Nelson Mandela's 1994 inauguration. Church Square, with its statue of Paul Kruger, is the historic heart, and the Voortrekker Monument stands on a hilltop, a granite landmark with a museum inside.
