Johannesburg, South Africa's biggest city and capital of Gauteng province, began as a 19th-century gold-mining settlement. Its sprawling Soweto township was once home to Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu. Mandela’s former residence is now the Mandela House museum. Other Soweto museums that recount the struggle to end segregation include the Apartheid Museum and Constitution Hill, a former prison complex.

We spent two days in Johannesburg, the first was spent learning about and visiting the Soweto area of the city, and the second learning about the history of Apartheid in South Africa, visiting the prison at Constitution Hill, and visiting the Apartheid Museum.
