Obviously if you are in Soweto then again this is a sight that you can not miss. It is very tragic and peaceful . Make sure you@have a local guide to tell@you the history behind it. Recommended.

I never before heard of this boy who became such a powerful symbol. Good & very informative museum on major uprising in 1976. Expect to be touched & moved when you come out.

After a solid lunch , it's time to move onto your next stop: the Hector Pieterson Museum, commemorating the death of 350 children during the protests of 1976. Entry is around R25.

Impressive and must see if you want to understand Apartheid . And the power of languages. Being able to speak your own!
