SOWETO TOUR - South Western Townships tour - Johannesburg, South Africa
Best Soweto tour!
The establishment of Soweto is, like Johannesburg, linked directly to the discovery of Gold in 1885. Thousands of people from around the world and South Africa flocked to the new town to seek their fortunes or to offer their labour. Within 4 years Johannesburg was the second largest city. More than half the population was black, most living in multi racial shanty towns near the gold mines in the centre of the town. As the gold mining industry developed, so did the need for labour increase. Migrant labour was started and most of these workers lived in mine compounds. However other workers had to find their own accommodation often in appalling conditions.
The first residents of what is now known as Soweto were located into the area called Klipspriut in 1905 following their relocation from “Coolietown” in the centre of Johannesburg as a result of an outbreak of bubonic plague. The Johannesburg City Council took the opportunity to establish racially segregated residential areas. Some residents were to be relocated to Alexandra township (near the present day Sandton). This group comprised black, Indian and coloured families and they received freehold title to their land (this was subsequently reversed by the Apartheid Government). Only black families were located into Klipspruit and the housing was on a rental basis. Klipspruit was subsequently renamed Pimville.
During the 1930’s the demand for housing for the large numbers of black people who had moved into Johannesburg grew to such an extent that new housing was built in an area known as Orlando, named after the first administrator Edwin Orlando Leaky.
In the 1940’s James Mpanza led the first land invasion and some 20000 squatters occupied land near Orlando. James Mpanza is known as the “Father of Soweto”.
A view of Soweto from the top of the Oppenheimer towerIn 1959 the residents of Sophiatown were forcibly removed to Soweto and occupied the area known as Meadowlands. Sir Earnest Oppenheimer, the first chairman of the Anglo American Corporation, was appalled by the housing shortage and was instrumental in arranging a loan for the construction of additional housing and this is commemorated by the Oppenheimer Tower in Jabulani. #soweto #johannesburg #southafrica

SOUTH AFRICA: VALUABLE ROCK ART COLLECTION TO BE HELD BY MUSEUM
English/Nat
One of the most valuable collections of rock art in the world is to be presented on Thursday to the University of the Witwatersrand for safe-keeping.
The J-D Roberts-Pager collection is a complete record of paintings done inside caves thousands of years ago.
The rock paintings done by San people or Bushmen between three hundred and two thousand years ago were painstakingly recorded thirty years ago by Austrian artist, Harald Pager (pronounced Porger).
Pager and his wife lived in the caves of the Ndedema Gorge in the Drakensberg Mountains for two years to do the work.
He photographed every painting in the valley in the eastern province of KwaZulu-Natal and produced life-sized replicas by photographing the rock face in square metre sections.
The photographs were then enlarged to life-size and Pager returned to the caves with them and coloured them with oil paints.
He then assembled the photographs along the rock and glued together a life-size mosaic.
The paintings are difficult to date because modern carbon dating techniques have proved ineffective.
But researchers are convinced that most of the paintings are at least two thousand years old.
The colour in the original paintings came from ochres for red, specularite for black and kaolin clay for white.
The paints were bound together by the blood and fat of wild animals.
Professor David Lewis Williams, director of the San Heritage Centre at Witwatersand University believes the addition of the collection to the Centre has made it the largest rock art archive in the world.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
It is of world class. People come from all over the world to see it. Probably there is no rock art anywhere in the world that is as detailed, as finely done, as small, beautifully done as this rock is.
SUPER CAPTION: Professor David Lewis Williams, Director of the San Heritage
Centre at the University of the Witwatersrand
Professor Lewis Williams says that the new collection is one of the most important in the world.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
It is of absolute world importance and it's as important as say the rock art in the French caves -- the Upper Paleolithic art. The collection is unique and since it was made in the 1960s a large number of individual paintings have disappeared through natural
causes. So this is the only record we have of those paintings.
SUPER CAPTION: Professor David Lewis Williams, Director of the San Heritage
Centre at the University of the Witwatersrand
Later this month Professor Lewis Williams will give a series of lectures on this work at the School of American Research at Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Since Pager did his work as many as half of the paintings in some areas have disappeared mainly due to high rainfall in the region.
Pager's photographs were stored for decades in long tubes and had virtually disintegrated over time.
They were restored over a period of two years by a South African museum worker in Pretoria.
The area now known as South Africa has produced many types of evidence of inhabitation by early human kind.
Fossils were discovered in caves outside Johannesburg two years ago providing the
first evidence that members of the human family lived there three and a half (m) million years ago.
Sterkfontein is the world's richest ancient hominid site.
Since 1936 when evidence of the first member of the human family was found there, the site has yielded another 700 hominid fossils and 600-thousand fossils of other animals.

[한국어 정보]
나는 광부들의 생활을 볼 수 박물관으로 향했다. 금광 채굴은 사람들에게 꿈과 희망을 안겨주었다. 하지만 모두에게 그런 것은 아니다. 노동자의 대부분이었던 흑인들의 삶은 열악하기만 했다. 그들은 초원을 호령하며 살았던 아프리카의 주인이었다. 생계를 위해 가족과 헤어져 이곳으로 온 흑인들은 다시 고향으로 돌아가 가족의 품에 안길 날만 손꼽아 기다렸을 것이다.

Johannesburg Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Johannesburg in South Africa.
Johannesburg is the commercial centre of South Africa. Since gold was first discovered, everything has revolved around money and from the 50th floor of Africa's tallest building, The Carlton Towers, there is an all-engulfing view of the city's narrow streets and jungle of concrete and glass.
The African Museum is a contemporary building and one of South Africa's most exquisite landmarks. It contains a large variety of geological exhibits and detailed accounts of the citys' past surface mining that gave rise to the country's massive gold rush. The resistance to apartheid is also illustrated, as well as that of the history of Africa's native inhabitants who journeyed from present day Botswana to the south of the country.
Gold Reef City is a large historical theme park that features the Johannesburg of pioneering times and focuses on the clothing, houses and entertainments of the country's golden years. On display are some of the old mining wagons that the workers used to transport the precious rock from the unforgiving mines and there's also a chance to see liquid gold, as it is turned into bullion and processed as gold coins.
In contrast to Johannesburg, Pretoria grew at a calmer pace and has developed from a Boer farming municipality into South Africa's administrative capital. Located on a hill is the Voortrekker Monument that is a reminder of the Boers' Great Trek and in 1830, the crucial battle in which they defeated the Zulus.
Sun City is a magnificent fantasy world full of African ambience and the Sun City Hotel is the casino that made Sol Kerzner the richest man in South Africa, whereas the futuristic Cascades Hotel derived its name from its wonderful setting of waterfalls, pools and lush plant life.
Johannesburg and this whole region of South Africa is the sunshiny place to be!
