If you’re a history buff planning a trip to South Africa,
take inspiration from Amitav Ghosh’s recent visit. The writer visited the
landmark that holds great significance to South Africa and their freedom
struggle. The Hungry Tide author went from Johannesburg to Kliptown,
Soweto, where the Walter Sisulu Square of Dedication is located. Famously
engraved in South African history as the spot where the South African Freedom
Charter was signed. You can even see the 10 points of the charter engraved on
the floor of the hall where it all happened. While soaking in South Africa’s
natural beauty, make sure to add this historical gem to your itinerary. Check
out Amitav Ghosh’s post and make sure Soweto is a stop on your journey
