I'm sick and tired of everything happening in Soweto! Seriously.
I know it's the biggest township yada yada and all that jazz, but seriously, there are other more deserving townships and communities in South Africa!
Everything that has anything to do with charity or some needy community anywhere in SA, always takes place in Soweto for some reason. As if all the other townships are fine and Soweto's playing catch-up. Why is that?
If there's any charoty that needs blankets to fight off the winter cold... guess where it is... SOWETO!
Nike built some soccer thing "for disadvantaged communities" and guess where it is? That's right... SO-freaking-WETO!
Why?
Do these big international companies even know about other more deserving, far less priveleged communities anywhere else in South Africa? I don't think so.
Yes, there may be some parts of Soweto that aren't as developed as others, but that's not the issue. What about those communities/townships that have nothing at all to begin with? How many townships you know have a fully fledged mall? A mall, in the hood. How many? I only know of one. And guess where it is... SOWETO!
Hasn't Soweto got enough facilities and tourist attractions already? How many people know about the other parts of this beautiful country of ours?
When tourists come to South Africa some go to the beach, others go on some Safari... where do the rest go? Again... SOWETO!
Why are all the other provinces not doing as much to promote the history, heritage and overall exposure of their townships?
Or maybe let me as this... What needs to happen in your community before you have enough reason to market it as a tourist destination? Do we need another political uprising? A billionnaire to build a mall around your block?
Get up and do something! Invest in your own. Otherwise Soweto's gonna take over.
