http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/6/1/3/2/event_125304882.jpeg (http://www.eatout.co.za/restaurants/3798/search/soweto/buffet-seafood-grills-african/wandies-place)The Soweto riots of 1976 was a turning point in South Africa. That revolution took place exactly 30 years before Twitter was launched. Join us in remembering all the young people who died for our freedom before 1994. Wandies Place will host the first Joburg Tweetup in Soweto. Afterwards everyone interested is invited to visit the house of Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, the Hector Peterson Museum and maybe Apartheid Museum.

Our three guest speakers will be updated this afternoon.

Cover charge: R100 per person and includes your food + a tip to the security guard watching our cars. Drinks are for your own account.

SPEAKERS:

After lunch (from 2pm onwards we'll have 3 speakers and a group discussion on how they use Twitter...)
