Experience South Africa’s rich history of resistance to apartheid through a time travel on the Soweto and Apartheid Museum Tour by Africa Moja Tours. The virtual journey in this site provides visitors with a dramatic sense of the nation’s engrossing history towards democracy. 

The tour starts with Soweto, a diverse and lively place that was instrumental when people of color fought against apartheid. When wandering through the streets you get the unmistakable vibe of a city and a people that have been brought down and are now clawing their way back up and symbolizing hope. Your expert guide from Africa Moja Tours will take you through key historical sites, all of which illustrate political and cultural struggle. Other attractions include a visit to Vilakazi Street, where Nelson Mandela used to live. A small humble home – transformed into a museum today – provides a look into the early life of the man who was to become South Africa’s first democratically elected President. Not far from here, another Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu lives, which makes this street symbolic of non-violent struggle. 

Next stop is the Apartheid Museum – a global iconic museum that serves as a symbol of memory and understanding. The moment one enters there is a ‘white’ or ‘non-white’ ticket assigned to a person, which embodies the whimsical racification under apartheid system. 

Within the building, a sequence of highly charged installations retraces the history of apartheid from its emergence through its decline. Cultural relics, photographs, and multimedia presentations offer the viewers comprehensive information concerning this evil period in the history of the Republic of South Africa. It was refreshing to see that the museum doesn’t sugarcoat anything, and tells a heartbreaking story that is, nonetheless, inspiring.

The best part of the Apartheid Museum is probably the one and only dedicated to the life and work of Nelson Mandela. This exhibit then takes you on a physical, chronological timeline from activist to prisoner and then president, and you come away with a greater understanding of the magnitude of this figure in ethnographically remaking modern South Africa.
