Today have one large
problem - crime. We were warned about going outside after dark,
and even through daytime we were warned to go out alone. When we
drove through the center of Johannesburg there were hardly any
white people to see, and shops were closing down. That's why I
had to take more than normal number of pictures through the bus
window on this trip.
Soweto - South Western Township
A large area where the
black had to live during apartheid. Today a settlement with both
new and old houses, and also sqatter-areas where the living
condition were at its worst. It was interesting to visit the
township to learn how it functioned today.
A witty tongue told us
that the "GP" on the licence plates from Gauteng mean
"Gangsters Paradice"
