Reviews: Soweto half day Tour
Guest User2025-09-04
The vestiges of apartheid are very much present, but the Ubuntu spirit of Africa is very much alive. Poverty is real, but so is the community sharing and the care for children. The tour guide, Steven, was great. He knows the area and the people. He was a great guide. Learning about Hector Pieterson and the June 16, 1976 Youth Day Massacre -- visiting museum named for him and the Regina Mundi church -- were the highlight.

Excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable about history and geographical issues. Took us to a shanty town in Soweto he was actually raised in and were allowed to walk around as well as take photos.
Reviews: Half-Day Tour of Soweto Tour
Guest User2024-07-16
I can recommend this tour as a powerful and informative introduction to Soweto, and especially my tour guide Khutso for being so welcoming, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The itinerary was indeed as advertised-- and I learned so much, even as someone who has worked in townships in SA previously. I write this with the caveat that the way I view tours is to be inherently non-comprehensive...to serve as a 'quick and dirty' initial meeting to gain the lay of the land because of course you can't see a place as vast in scale and as heterogeneous and complex as Soweto in one experience. In this way, this tour absolutely met my expectations! We drove past and learned about the middle-class parts of Soweto, Winnie's house, Vilakazi Street on which Tutu AND Madiba lived, a university campus now in Soweto, the famous resistance epicenter of Regina Mundi church, the square where the Congress of the People (1955) was held, new permanent housing developments which are tragically a pipe dream still for so many in the informal settlements, and other places in between. Early in the tour, guide Hope led us through one such informal settlement: Motsoaledi. This was the main part of the tour I had necessarily powerfully mixed feelings about (the other being the commercialization of Vilakazi Street, which does not relate to this tour)-- thank goodness that guides are supporting the most desperate poverty zones of Soweto, and yet at the same time, when you're walking almost in someone's 'backyard,' past communal water points, into a preschool with singing children, it's hard to feel like this isn't a spiritual intrusion on some level. But of course, given the informative nature of the tour, and the guidance toward empathy vs. sympathy, maybe if more people in positions of economic and political power completed this tour, the upliftment out of poverty could be accomplished much sooner than what has been inarguably and excruciatingly too slow in the wake of apartheid's brutality. If you're an obsessive history buff or documentarian, this tour will leave you wanting more-- but again, for me, this is sort of the point. I now know the lay of the land; I could return to Vilakazi Street, go through the Mandela House and Hector Pieterson more slowly on my own (there was 35-45 minutes allocated, if memory serves for the latter), and/or hire this same company MoAfrika for a more personalized experience in the future. To conclude, I share the two parts of the tour I found most compelling. The first is the way Khutso so deeply knew the structure and landscape of Soweto. We could point at any urban structure and receive an answer that went so much deeper than just driving past sites xyz..."these were the mining quarters, this is permanent housing that folks are waiting for etc. etc." This was really outstanding and I just learned so very much. The second thing to highlight is that whether you go on the official apartheid museum tour or not (I did not, as I have been a few times on my own), the juxtaposition of reading about the seminal roles that Soweto horrors and resistance played in the anti-apartheid struggle, and then setting foot in those places, is emotionally riveting. Hallowed ground. Inevitably words won't convey the evils of apartheid and the spiritual richness, tragedy, and contradictions of the cultural timeline of Soweto. But you should go, and then reflect, and pray, and act.
