    I would not recommend that you go here. It may be insightful but it is also dangerous. Unless it is some guided tour i think it is a silly idea to go by yourself. There are plenty of safer places in Johannesburg that would be worth your time and money. Soweto is not one of them.

  • Awesome place

    Loved it there. Loved the people. If you want to experience it the best way, go by yourself. Most people are willing to help if you are nice to them. Most people outside of South Africa have different opinions about Soweto, but when you get there and meet the people you will love it. There is alot to learn from the people there. I enjoyed the 6 months i spent there.

    I disliked the exagerrated efforts put into security because we were unable to mingle with the natives who seemed like really friendly people but the overall experience was splendid!!!
