This excursion kicks off with a comprehensive exploration of Sandton and Alexandra, the wealthiest and least affluent districts of the metropolis. Cruising through the luxury of Sandton, you’ll witness the lifestyle of its most prosperous inhabitants. Upon departure, you will promptly be immersed in Alexandra, colloquially dubbed “Alex” by its inhabitants. You will explore two makeshift dwellings and engage with the locals to understand how they manage their extreme impoverishment and the harsh living conditions — devoid of water and severely limited in space. This traversal through Sandton and Alexandra, as well as Jo’burg’s city center and Soweto, will starkly expose the persistent societal disparities. As you interact with the individuals, you’ll marvel at how these two contrasting societies encapsulate the liberty and reconciliation that was obtained at such a great sacrifice.
