You step out of an air-conditioned SUV into Vilakazi Street where laughter and radio static mix with the steady hum of traffic; the guide locks the door and the day opens. Walk past Mandela’s first Johannesburg home and feel the weight of post-war terraces and the determined work of neighbors who rebuilt lives here. The tour threads through Hector Pieterson Memorial, Walter Sisulu Square and finishes with the Apartheid Museum — each stop a different pulse of South Africa’s modern history.
