Soweto's history is a story of struggle and resilience. Here's a quick rundown:
Origins in the 1930s: Established under Apartheid to segregate Black people from Johannesburg, Soweto began as a collection of townships.
From Shantytowns to Townships: What started as slums became a permanent Black urban area with some government services by the 1950s.
Hotbed of Anti-Apartheid Activism: Soweto residents became a driving force against racial inequality.
The Soweto Uprising (1976): A pivotal moment. Students protested the forced use of Afrikaans in schools, sparking a major rebellion that gained international attention.
