You step out of the private vehicle into the warm Johannesburg light and the city seems to speak in layers: the hum of minibus taxis, vendors calling from corner stalls, and the steady pulse of Soweto’s streets. Guided in French, the day moves with purpose—Vilakazi Street’s Mandela House offers intimate family photographs, while the nearby Hector Pieterson Memorial anchors the memory of 1976.
