What do you like about Soweto?
Apart from the fact that Soweto is diverse, the township is able to cater for all the classes that live there.
Soweto has a very rich history and it gives one the flexibility to do anything that comes to mind, from nightlife, fine dining and to engage in all sorts of activities.
Soweto is also rich in talent. The famous township has produced many prominent figures. Soweto is also the place that I call my home.

Nambitha Restaurant is definitely the best in Soweto. The restaurant sells authentic African food and it is run by people who really know the hospitality business.

You see what i meant by questioning were he's from. Real-Mogwanthi managed to see the myth behind my question. The guy is from Limpopo but never heard him outlining something about his hometown unlike other Celebs like Euponik, Bonang, Hlubi. As for you, dont come here with that coconut tendency sham
