Soweto also has a cultural, music and social scene that is all its own and soccer in particular is a huge obsession for the many exuberant fans of Soweto's two mega-clubs – the (Kaizer) Chiefs and the (Orlando) Pirates.
There are several worthwhile historical sights and museums to visit.
The township was always at the forefront of the struggle against Apartheid, and also once home to Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu, both Nobel peace prize winners. Whatever you choose to see in Soweto you will find that it is the people who will make your Soweto visit most memorable. Although many areas are still desperately poor, like any large city there are also wealthier neighbourhoods and a sizeable growing middle-class.
Located to the south-west of Johannesburg city centre, South Africa's most famous township is also by far its largest with estimates putting the population at anywhere between two and four million residents.
