Soweto
South Africa's most famous township lies southwest of the city. Soweto is a vast sprawl of houses, shacks, huts, and dorms whose standards range from plush to woeful. Like other townships that exist on the fringes of South African cities, security is poor, but it is possible to visit with a tour group. Tours usually include stops at Nelson Mandela's former home, now a museum, and the Hector Petersen Memorial, dedicated to the young boy who was the first fatality of the June 1976 student uprising. Stop at the reputable Wandie's Place restaurant for an authentic taste of Africa.Nightlife
