Rich cultural heritage
Soweto, short for South Western Townships, stands as a symbol of South Africa's struggle for freedom. Today, it's a vibrant cultural hub featuring attractions like the Hector Pieterson Memorial, Orlando Stadium, and Vilakazi Street - the only street worldwide to have housed two Nobel Peace Prize winners.
Meanwhile, Kenya, celebrated for its wildlife safaris, pristine beaches, and dynamic capital Nairobi, shares many cultural parallels with South Africa.
