South western township

Really want a South African experience ?

Come to the south western township ..

Really want to see resilience ?

Come to Soweto

Implemented to segregate black and white

A military hospital was built in 1941 by the British government which was called imperial military hospital, baragwanath

Ask the youth of 1967 about the recession

Like it never happened, check out Soweto’s beautiful sights

Of course people died for their sense of black pride

Chaiwelo, Mapetla, Zola, Mdeni

Topless kids with flies in their eyes, waiting for Their parents to come home from work

At train stations they waited

Ask the youth of 1967 about the 1986 state of emergency

4 years later on the 11th day of February Nelson Mandela was released ..

It’s safe to say Soweto saw our independence come

With the black local authorities act favoring black elected councilors

And Vilakazi avenue ?

The only street in the world where by two eminent leaders lived

Whilst the unimportant filled four roomed match box houses

Trevor Noah, Teko Modise and Richard Maponya

All the stars and business moguls hail from the place

And that’s Soweto
