vilakazi street印象
-
Vilakazi street has become just another "tourist" street with expensive restaurants and museums. The restaurants are obviously for the tourist and I doubt many "local" Sowetans can afford to eat here. Both Nelson Mandela's and Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu's houses are on the street both of which are now museums. Sadly Mandela's house has been upgraded for the "tourist" trade, but at least Tutu's is still as was. The only street in the world that had Two Nobel Peace prize winners living on it is still worth a quick visit.

This was a quick insight into Madiba's world, perfect museum type outing with little kids - the tour is less than 30 minutes and a safe space. As native South Africans, it was insightful enough for our visiting guests to recommend that we skip the (awesome) Apartheid Museum, as doing a ( insightful) 3 hour tour with whining halflings would be a push. The proximity to the Hector Petersen Memorial, FNB Stadium and the Soweto Cooling Towers (Bungeejumping) make for a fun hop in, take photo, afternoon out. Only downside is no decent curio shop.

After visiting Mandela's house and the Pieterson Museum it was good to wander in this busy street with all the sellers etc.Unfortunately we only saw Tuto's house from the outside as the Arch. still lives there with family.As we were in a group we had not much time to look around more which I would have liked but we had to return to the coach to Johannesburg Airport.An awesome experience.

We went on a company outing to eat at a restaurant on Vilakazi Street. Was great to see it and we felt perfectly safe. It is not or does not appear to be right in the middle of Soweto and it wasnt far off the motorway until we reached it. Very atmospheric and a nice place to spend a couple of hours taking in the ambiance and history of the area. Themed bars and restaurants line the street along with the usual stalls selling tourist trinkets.

Was great to visit the street where Nelson and Winnie Mandela lived for so long, although the street has changed a lot over the last decade or two just by driving through adjacent streets you could imagine how it really would have been. Mandela House is definitely worth a visit and also Sakhumzi for lunch afterward literally a few minute walk down the road.

The restaurants are pricey, but it is what tourists need to pay and probably the safest area to walk around alone in Soweto.

A must see when in Soweto. Just stroll around the street and feel the vibes :-) And of course visit Mandelas House and walk to Hector Pietersons square.

This street will be visited by every tour to Soweto . It is home to two Nobel peace prize winners , Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu . There are numerous resturants and vendors along the road . The whole street had become very much aimed at mainstream tourism and has lost a lot of it's authenticity . But worth a visit when you are in Soweto .

This street has undergone a transformation built largely on its proximity to major tourist attractions. If you have this area as a destination, you know what and where they are. Hordes of tourists descend on this Soweto centrepiece daily by car, van, bus and even bicycle. Try to catch this wave soon – it risks becoming over-commercialized thereby erasing the authenticity which it seeks to immortalize.

Our private driver took us to see Winnie Mandela's house, and lo and behold the woman herself was being escorted out of her driveway in a limo. So I got to see a celebrity. As for the street, the restaurants are pricey, but the buffet we ate at was good. Overall, the tour was nice.
