This place gives you more insight about the soweto uprisings, you get to experience the turmoil that occurred in Soweto. There are pictures and videos that were taken as the events were happening. You get to relieve that era. There are also volunteering sight guides who will help you navigate the memorial outside the museum.
Thou a great source of painful memories for black South Africans, it is a truly magnificent monument of historic truth and a display of courage for those who fought for black people to have equal right with white people. Even willing to rist their lives for us. The tour guide was truly informative and it was awe inspiring to stand were courageous young men and women matched for the future to be brighter we will forever be grateful. Must see.
Guide help explain the history of the memorial and each component. It is important support the community and even better if you know something prior to walking in.
Nice to hear about history of what happened during Apartheid. Also a good reminder.
Well organized, touching stories of the country and the people. Great memories of the great people of South Africa.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Pictures Copyright © blackjohannes. All pictures as is and was not edited or manipulated. It is always an eye opener to visit the Hector Pieterson museum. You have to spend time so it all soak in again how much many people have sacrificed, especially the youth. Went for a coffee at Vilakazi espresso, so it was my first taste of an espresso in Soweto. Would never ever thought I would one day drink an espresso in this historic township. Also had an oven baked pizza at The Soweto Pizza Company. Was good to pass Madibas house again in the now vibrant Vilikazi street, home to two Nobel Peace Laureates. Archbishop Desmond Tutu's former home is close to the one of the former home of Nelson Mandela. And whilst people cheers and drink the night in, let us remember how these two icons help to give us freedom in the New South Africa.
Beautiful museum about 1976 Students uprisings against Apartheid imposing Afrikaans in our black school..
Moving recount of the student uprising, and more broadly about Sowetans struggle for education, freedom, justice. I also recommend the road side explanation boards going from the Memorial towards Vizakali.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
A well preserved historical account of extreme brutality against black youth, especially primary and secondary school children who seek to preserve their rights and voices in peaceful manner. Such large scale brutality and crime against humanity where thousands of these children were murdered in cold blood. This is a story of the Soweto uprising, this is the story of infant tears and blood. May the souls represented by those walls rest in peace and bless the land of Africa and its people. I do hope that humanity will never witness this again
The feeling I got when I arrived there is to this day something I can't explain. It's like I could feel the struggle that went down on that day. Looking at the picture carved on the rock and looking around seeing youth walking around freely enjoying their time I could see what that youth was fighting for. I'm grateful for their sacrifices. RIP to the youth who died in the 1976 uprising.
