A Special Mandela Day Tour by Soweto Night Out
This Mandela Day, on 18 July 2025, join Soweto Night Out for a one-of-a-kind night walking tour through the beating heart of Soweto — a journey that commemorates both the legacy of Nelson Mandela and the upcoming 50th anniversary of the 1976 Student Uprising.
This commemorative tour is more than an evening stroll. It is a living archive — walking side by side with history, guided by stories of youth, struggle, music, and liberation. It is an invitation to honour Madiba not through speeches, but through shared steps in the streets that shaped him and so many others.
