Soweto


Today I went on a private tour of Soweto with a guide and driver. Soweto is an acronym for SOuth WEstern TOwnship and is the center of South Africa's political history. We made visits to Sowetan housing of varying classes, Africa's largest Catholic Church Regina Mundi, Hector Peterson Museum, etc.
