Soweto is a suburb full of contrasts: from luxurious mansions to ‘match-box’ houses to tin shanties. Home to 3 million people, Soweto encompasses the small houses of Old Diepkloof and Orlando townships, the newer leafy areas of Diepkloof Extention (housing the relatively affluent) and Pimville Extention (home to the higher income groups) boasting beautiful homes, schools and playgrounds.
