Duration: 06:00 hours


Description

South Africa is a country characterized by contrasts. On the one hand, there is the past, which, with racial segregation, will probably always be a dark spot in South Africa's history.
PROCEDURE
With Sandton and Alexandra, we visit two townships that could not be more different and therefore reflect the contrasting South Africa very well. On the one hand there is the affluent Sandton, on the other the poorest township in South Africa "Alex", as the locals call the district. In both districts, you will get to know the locals and hear their stories first-hand.
During the tour you will learn about the history of the Golden
Strike, which gave birth to an entire nation, as well as the imperialism and discrimination that led to the near extinction of this nation. We will also tell you about the unwavering human spirit that saved and liberated the nation. We visit the Apartheid Museum, which brings the country's past back to life.
A city tour in the African suburb of Soweto (South Western Townships), inhabited by more than four million people, will give you a concrete idea of the reality of this country.
On the way through Soweto, you will pass Baragwanath Hospital, the largest hospital in Africa. You will visit a kindergarten, which is often attended by more than 70 children. You will see the memorial and museum in honor of Hector Pieterson, one of the first children to be killed during the political unrest of 1976.
Your next stop on the program is the Mandela Family House Museum. Mandela lived here with his
