Fascinating tour of Soweto - Being a local South African who has only visited Soweto before to go to sporting events, I had a lot of misconceptions about the area. It was fascinating to see how diverse Soweto is and in many ways safer and more community focused that the rest of Joburg. Bongani was a world class tour guide and exceptionally knowledgeable.
