What Can I Expect From the First Thursday Night Walk?
You’ll also make stops to enjoy local beer and indulge in a delicious rustic-style bar menu dinner at Native Rebels, a popular spot among locals. Secure your ticket for the #RebelWalk, which will be held in Jabavu, near the Soweto Theatre and Kwakhaya Lendaba, the Village of Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa.

This captivating walk covers a total distance of 3 to 5 kilometres and is of medium difficulty. For avid hikers they recommend arriving at 18:00 and joining the first group, which will have the opportunity to ascend Oppenheimer Tower—an additional highlight not included for those departing at 19:00 due to its physical fitness requirements.

Let’s embrace the spirit of #FunkItImWalking and embark on this empowering journey towards freedom.
