    A great educational outing if you want to learn more about the Soweto student uprising which happened in 1976, very informative through pictures and artworks displayed at the gallery. The guided tour option is no longer available though

    The Acre is another place other than Hector Pieterso Museum, where the story of the students uprising on the 16th June 1976 is told. At the Acre you find a mural in which the route followed by the marching students followed. You also will see a time of the day where each major incident happened. Outside the venue there is a statue of Tsietsi Mashinini. The place is good place to be visited by students and normal tourist who need to know more about the history of Soweto.
