Soweto
History

In 1950, during the apartheid regime, Soweto was constructed as a self-sufficient housing project. African people until then had been
living in government designated areas for white settlement (such as the multi-racial area called Sophiatown). It began as a grouping
of the farms Doornkop, Klipriviersoog, Diepkloof, Klipspruit and Vogelstruisfontein.

Soweto Riots

Soweto came to the world's attention in 1976 with the Soweto Riots, when mass rioting broke out over the government's policy to
enforce education in Afrikaans rather than English. After the riots the question "So Where To from now?" was asked in a drama staged by
students at the University of Stellenbosch. See History of South Africa.

A series of bombs rocked Soweto in October 2002. The explosions, believed to be the work of the Boeremag, a right wing extremist
group, damaged buildings and railway lines, and killed one person.
