Johannesburg is famous for a lot of things
such as gold, world cup etc. but much older
thing that it’s famous for is the ancient
human hominid remains about an hour to
Johannesburg, called

Site.
A must. Pretty Then comes the
Apartheid Museum
where
you may see the dark years of the
Apartheid; the most populous black urban
residential area and also the most
metropolitan
Soweto and Soweto's
Hector Pieterson Museum... Old Fort
and
Constitutional Hill was the infamous
site where people - including Nelson Mandela
and Mahatma Gandhi - who raised their voices
against apartheid were incarcerated. If you
