Movies and Soweto in one weekend

Rod went the movies recently! He’s a fan of Johnny Depp, like me, and when he heard we were going to see Captain Jack Sparrow in his latest adventures, he just had to come along!

And it worked out well, ‘cos then Alix took Rod with her and Bryan and the gang to go explore Soweto the next day. They had a great time, took a taxi to Soweto, went to the museums, the Hector Peterson Memorial,

and visited a Shabeen! Rod got to see Mandela’s house, and was amazed at how small it was! The shabeen was the highlight though- drinking and playing pool with the locals!

Rod’s happy, he’s got to see how part of South Africa lives, and learnt some of Soweto’s history- from the uprisings to the achievements!

Maybe some of his new friends from the tour will add some stories about their taxi to Soweto day!
