About this tour
The Journey to Freedom Soweto school tour is one of Johannesburg's most powerful CAPS-aligned History excursions for Grade 4–12 learners. It walks classes through the township that became the heart of the anti-apartheid struggle and reshaped South Africa's road to democracy.
Learners visit Mandela House on Vilakazi Street, the only street to have housed two Nobel Peace Prize winners, the Regina Mundi Church and visit Hector Pieterson Memorial and Museum. The drive winds past FNB Stadium, Baragwanath Hospital, Freedom Square and other landmarks that bring the 1976 uprising and the broader struggle to life.
