On our way home from Gold Reef City and the Apartheid Museum, we took a detour to drive by Soccer City Stadium (FNB Stadium). This is where the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final was played. There was another stadium here before that underwent a major upgrade to what you see below specifically for the world cup. This is also the site where Nelson Mandela gave his first speech in Johannesburg after his release from prison.
Below is a picture of the South African Football Association headquarters (SAFA House).
After such a busy Saturday, we went home to get some sleep and prepare ourselves for our Sunday Adventures to the Joburg Zoo and African Market at Rosebank Mall.
