Soweto



Soweto, located just outside of Johannesburg, is South Africa's largest township and has been home to both Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela. Soweto is also famous for its leading role in the resistance movement during the apartheid, particularly for the youth uprising in 1976. 
We had the opportunity to visit the township while traveling through South Africa during our mid semester break. The above video was filmed in the day care of the informal settlement in Soweto. The children, ages 3-4, were anxious to show how smart they were :)
