Soccer City celebrates no injuries

One million hours have passed in the building of the landmark World Cup Soccer City stadium - and there have been no injuries.

Orlando Stadium nearly complete

Once complete, the new Orlando Stadium will change the skyline of Soweto and "restore the dignity" of residents, says the executive mayor.

Soweto’s got soul – and so much more

For a long time it was a symbol of oppression, but Soweto has a remarkable spirit of freedom – drink beer at the car wash, “celebrate” at a funeral and watch out for wedding tents in the street.
