  A well preserved historical account of extreme brutality against black youth, especially primary and secondary school children who seek to preserve their rights and voices in peaceful manner. Such large scale brutality and crime against humanity where thousands of these children were murdered in cold blood. This is a story of the Soweto uprising, this is the story of infant tears and blood. May the souls represented by those walls rest in peace and bless the land of Africa and its people. I do hope that humanity will never witness this again 😭😭😭

  Visited the memorial as part of a tour and our guide was quite knowledgeable about the incidents surrounding this street. It was quite harrowing. A really good lesson to keep in your heart. People from Soweto truly suffered. The only thing I did not like was that people were posing with the famous image there, it was not appropriate to stand there smiling in front of the photo

  It's a place to be when you want to connect with your inner being. Though in the heart of Soweto. It's a holy ground for good spiritual connection. A liberated souls of struggling spirits. Pray there and your prayers will be answered.

  If this doesn't touch you in some kinda way....then I'm not sure you should stop and visit. No photos are allowed inside but the most special place was right inside the entrance. The forgotten ones who have never been found their names are on 🧱 in a courtyard that is peaceful and tranquil. MUST STOP AND VISIT

  A must if you are in Soweto, entrance ticket is cheap and even the museum is not too big is important to understand the history of the place. We were lucky to be there by youth day and was an stunning experience.
