I am a bit late in writing this, but after Cape Town, I was lucky to be able to spend a weekend with my college friend and his family in Johannesburg.
This was the first time in over 17 years since I saw him last. It was great to see him and his family. And - they really took me around!
First, we drove to the Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve,. It was like a safari and I saw many wild animals roaming around. The below are some of the pictures from the interesting place.
I also went to Soweto - the largest of townships close from Johannesburg.
The statue of the most famous and popular person of South Africa at the Nelson Mandela Square.

It was a feeding time for the Lions.
Rhinos and deer-like creatures.
Zebras.
We then went to The Cradle of Humankind - a World Heritage Site.
The skeleton of Lucy - the oldest human known. We learned that its name came about because the excabators were listening to the Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds".
I also went to Soweto - the largest of townships close from Johannesburg.
Inside the Mandela House - the actual house where Winnie and Nelson lived.
A typical house in Soweto - the Mandela house looked very much like this one.
A momorial right outside of Hector Pieterson Museum - a facility dedicated to the 16 June 1976 uprising against Apartheid that bears the name of the 12-year old boy that was shot to death on that day.
The statue of the most famous and popular person of South Africa at the Nelson Mandela Square.
