Soweto
Soweto ni sehemu ya jiji la Johannesburg, Afrika Kusini.
Jina hilo ni kifupi cha Southwestern townships yaani "mapambizo ya kusini-magharibi". Hayo yalianzishwa wakati wa apartheid kama makazi ya Waafrika pekee, na kwa hiyo yalitazamwa kuwa "mapambizo meusi" ya Johannesburg.
Kati ya miaka 1983 na 2002 Soweto ilikuwa manisipaa ya pekee, baadaye imekuwa tena sehemu ya jiji la Johannesburg.
Wakati wa sensa ya mwaka 2008 idadi ya wakazi ilikuwa milioni 1.3 [1] na hii inalingana na theluthi moja ya wakazi wote wa jiji hilo.
Ndani ya Soweto kuna vitongoji mbalimbali, idadi inatajwa mara kuwa 29[2], mara 34[3]. Kati yake, vingine ni maeneo maskini sana, hata mitaa ya vibanda; vingine vina nyumba nzuri.
Soweto ilikuwa kitovu cha upinzani wa wanafunzi dhidi ya apartheid kwenye mwaka 1976.
