Johannesburg Although Johannesburg does not have that many sights to offer, this most certainly does not mean that you should skip it on your trip. It houses one of the best museums on the turbulent past, the MuseuMAfricA. The Newtown Cultural Pretinct and the Phumangena Zula Kraal are suburbs that give a microscopic view of South African life and worth exploring. For those interested in Art, Jo’burg has many art galleries that do not only give a view of the most recent artists from the region, but also have exhibitions on the turbulent history of the city and country. Johannesburg is also the place from which to visit Soweto. This group of townships was the scene of terrible violence in 1976, when students protested against the introduction of Afrikaans as an official language at schools. |
