GO Cycling in Soweto, South Africa
On Saturday I joined a whole group of locals and tourists for a cycle ride in Soweto. The Soweto #InstaRide was organised by local street photographer and cyclist Adile Bhala who took us on a tour of some of the attractions in Soweto.
The ride started at Lebo's Backpackers in Soweto where you are able to hire bicycles and go on tours of Soweto with local guides.

Soweto is a township southwest of Johannesburg, South Africa. It was started in the 1930's when the Apartheid government separated Blacks from Whites under the Urban Areas Act in 1923. In Soweto, all 11 official South African languages are spoken, but IsiZulu is the most widely spoken language.

Cycle in Soweto Tour - Part 5
We passed by completely new multi-family homes. These were built by the city of Johannesburg for the people of Soweto. But when the project was done they wanted to charge R1850 a month, something only a luck few can afford, so no one lives there. Heroine addicts often break to cook. Thieves have stolen any and all copper to be found in each structure.

Cycling tour in Soweto
Hannah and Andrew take a Soweto township tour on a bike and experience this iconic township, renowned for its Freedom Struggle credentials and urban vibe!
Hannah: I've never met friendlier, more accommodating people than I did in Soweto. The name comes from an abbreviation for South Western Townships, in case you were wondering.
Andrew and I each hopped onto a mountain bike, and joined about six other tourists on an easy cycling ramble through Soweto's streets. Most interesting was Vilikazi Street, where Nelson Mandela used to live. His house is now a museum. Fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Archbishop Desmond Tutu still lives on Vilikazi, in a modest little house.
