A VISIT TO SOWETO IN SOUTH AFRICA

This memorable trip was embarked upon on March 21, 2015, being South African Human Rights Day (Courtesy of Carnegie CPD Programme Organizers in University of Pretoria ). The 28 Carnegie CPD3 students were on board for this tour with Dr. Marlene Holmner, Ms. Joan De La Haye, Carike Schoeman and the Tour Guide.

We visited many interesting places among which are;

1.      MANDELA'S HOUSE AND FAMILY RESTAURANT – See few of the pictures taken at the place below

  

This tree is located inside Mandela's compound. We were informed by our Guide that the umbilical cord of all Mandela's children were buried under that tree hence, the family takes the tree as a very special one to them.

This is the bed inside his room.

This is few of Mandela's awards on display in his living room.

This is a Cupboard housing some of his plaques.

Mandela's statue at the middle of his compound.

I sincerely thank Carnegie and University of Pretoria for this wonderful opportunity. My gratitude also goes to Prof. T. J. Bothma, who actually won the grant that enabled us to enjoy this great privileged. To the beautiful trio of Dr. Holmer, Joan and Carike who have always being there for us and also sacrificed the time they would have spent with their families considering that the Tour day was a public holiday, I say, thank you so much! You are appreciated! 

To my dear readers, visit again for the remaining part of the tour story.
