Guided tours of Soweto
If you'd like to organise a tour to Soweto, you should do it with a tour-guide to help keep you out of danger and to provide background info and commentary. You can usually book from your hotel or B&B but if you do it through on of the Soweto-based guides, you will help get more money directly into the Soweto economy. Eric +27-822-612203, who is a local from Soweto and can help organise it is one of many and is excellent. If calling from inside South Africa, call 0822-612-203. A video of Eric telling a proverb in Xhosa (African click language) is coming soon :o)
