About this trap
Illegal guiding is a known problem in Gauteng, and inspectors have focused on the Vilakazi precinct. Registered guides carry an official Gauteng Tourism Authority badge and identity card, and operators should hold valid permits. Ask to see the badge before the tour starts, book through a registered company, and favour guides who live in Soweto for better stories. Report any operator that seems unsafe to the tourism authority.
