Soweto (Category) - 28 posts

I started 2Summers 15 years ago this month. In recognition of this milestone, I reminisce about one Joburg blog post from each of the past 15 years.

I spent an evening walking through Soweto for Soweto Night Out, a new tourism initiative founded by Sowetan Nomsa Mazwai.

My friends Fabian and Lavinia are holding a special art tour in Noordgesig on 16 March. Space is limited to 20 people so sign up now.

Last Tuesday night I spent an evening in Soweto, attending the Sawubona Music Jam and staying over at Lebo's Soweto Backpackers.

I took photos of Micayla's Matric Farewell celebration in Noordgesig. It was one of the most joyous celebrations I've ever attended.

A few friends and I went to a car stance competition/hang-out in a parking lot outside FNB Stadium, where we watched cars doing the limbo.

I visited Lavinia and Fabian Otto in Noordgesig, on the northeastern edge of Soweto, and checked out the neighborhood library.

The Soweto Cafe in Zondi, conceived by Thami Mazibuko, is magical to visit and also a vital community resource.

On Saturday Thorsten and I went to Soweto to check out a spinning event hosted by the Soweto Street Fighters. My mind was blown.

I took a walk around Diepkloof, Soweto, last Sunday afternoon and shot a few pictures of the people and places we saw.

I recently climbed a mine dump at the bottom of Immink Drive in Diepkloof, Soweto. Here are some photos from the experience.

I ate dinner at Chilli Pepper, a restaurant on Immink Drive in Diepkloof, Soweto. It was a memorable experience.
