The tour of Johannesburg.

Our day had begun a trifle later around a quarter past 9. Our first destination was a museum that housed an extinct gold mine. Could understand the hardships faced by the natives while working as miners in those mines.

After lunch at a Malayalee hotel, we were taken to 8115, Vilkaza Street nee Mandela House. And also, saw Bishop Desmond Tutu’s residence on the same street.

Drove through Soweto (South Western Townships) and saw the slums inhabited by the blacks, the coloured and the poor during the Apartheid days. Real sad that the present black government has not been able to look after their interests.

Felt nice when our guide Billie had said, “You’ve a good PM. Wish he could rule us for at least a year to put this country back on its tracks.
