Best of Soweto - Volume 1

In dieser Angelegenheit

The renowned mega-township of Soweto is photosynthesizing in the spotlight which was cast over it during the 2010 FIFA Football World Cup™. This bright light has continued to shine long after the final whistle was blown – the growth is of Soweto’s own accord.

Here in ‘Best of Soweto’, we aim to capture some of this light and share it with the rest of the world. There are many opportunities arising out of Soweto – and its people are reveling in it. A township which has endured immense strife and hardship since its racial inception, Soweto has flourished into a place of colour and vibrancy.

Whilst this is difficult to capture in the pages of a book, we owe it to Sowetans to attempt it and ensure the legacy lives.

Whilst this is difficult to capture in the pages of a book, we owe it to Sowetans to attempt it and ensure the legacy lives.
Soweto has always been an offshoot of Johannesburg City, but with talks of forming a separate municipality for Soweto, the township is increasingly standing on its own as a fully functional city. Its many achievements are most commendable.

We can offer you a small flavour of the township through a showcase of those who have made it what it is today. As a result, we bring to you the success stories of ordinary and iconic Sowetans, and their businesses. In this way we can capture their collective enterprising spirit which has allowed them to rise through struggles with determination.
