      This street has undergone a transformation built largely on its proximity to major tourist attractions. If you have this area as a destination, you know what and where they are. Hordes of tourists descend on this Soweto centrepiece daily by car, van, bus and even bicycle. Try to catch this wave soon – it risks becoming over-commercialized thereby erasing the authenticity which it seeks to immortalize.

      Was great to visit the street where Nelson and Winnie Mandela lived for so long, although the street has changed a lot over the last decade or two just by driving through adjacent streets you could imagine how it really would have been. Mandela House is definitely worth a visit and also Sakhumzi for lunch afterward literally a few minute walk down the road.

      This was a quick insight into Madiba's world, perfect museum type outing with little kids - the tour is less than 30 minutes and a safe space. As native South Africans, it was insightful enough for our visiting guests to recommend that we skip the (awesome) Apartheid Museum, as doing a ( insightful) 3 hour tour with whining halflings would be a push. The proximity to the Hector Petersen Memorial, FNB Stadium and the Soweto Cooling Towers (Bungeejumping) make for a fun hop in, take photo, afternoon out. Only downside is no decent curio shop.

      A must see when in Soweto. Just stroll around the street and feel the vibes :-) And of course visit Mandelas House and walk to Hector Pietersons square.

      Vilakazi street has become just another "tourist" street with expensive restaurants and museums. The restaurants are obviously for the tourist and I doubt many "local" Sowetans can afford to eat here. Both Nelson Mandela's and Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu's houses are on the street both of which are now museums. Sadly Mandela's house has been upgraded for the "tourist" trade, but at least Tutu's is still as was. The only street in the world that had Two Nobel Peace prize winners living on it is still worth a quick visit.

      Vilakazi street has lots to offer. There are restaurants, museums, and its great to know that you are walking the very same street that greats like Mandela and Tutu walked together.Nowadays its full of car washers and posers. I guess you could say it is the Melrose Arch of Soweto. Unfortunately the eateries dont really fit the bill and its mainly stew.

      We went to Nelson Mandela's home and for lunch we went to Sakhumzi's, it's a great place with lots of tourists around and the food is to die for.

      The restaurants are pricey, but it is what tourists need to pay and probably the safest area to walk around alone in Soweto.

      Our private driver took us to see Winnie Mandela's house, and lo and behold the woman herself was being escorted out of her driveway in a limo. So I got to see a celebrity. As for the street, the restaurants are pricey, but the buffet we ate at was good. Overall, the tour was nice.

      This is street is a little too touristic, but it is what we tourists need to do sometimes to get a little history. The street seemed really safe, with great houses to live. But if you want a little bit more of what Soweto is about, just walk to the end of the street, at the of the mountain, and leave the main street. Suddenly all can change, but it is an experience.
