Soweto (/səˈwɛtoʊ, -ˈweɪ-, -ˈwiː-/) is an urban area of the city of Johannesburg in Gauteng, South Africa, bordering the city's mining belt in the south. Its name is an English syllabic abbreviation for South Western Townships. Formerly a separate municipality, it is now incorporated in the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality, Suburbs of Johannesburg.
The history of South African townships south west of Johannesburg that would later form Soweto was propelled by the increasing eviction of black South Africans by city and state authorities. Black South Africans had been drawn to work on the gold mines that were established after 1886. From the start they were accommodated in separate areas on the outskirts of Johannesburg, such as Brickfields (Newtown). In 1904 British-controlled city authorities removed black South African and Indian residents of Brickfields to an "evacuation camp" at Klipspruit municipal sewage farm (not Kliptown, a separate township) outside the Johannesburg municipal boundary, following a reported outbreak of plague. Two further townships were laid out to the east and the west of Johannesburg in 1918. Townships to the south west of Johannesburg followed, starting with Pimville in 1934 (a renamed part of Klipspruit) and Orlando in 1935.
Soweto is the debut album led by American jazz drummer Billy Higgins recorded in 1979 and released on the Italian Red label.
The AllMusic review by Ron Wynn states "this was a welcome entry by a good group that unfortunately didn't work together longer".

John Pandeni constituency, formerly known as Soweto is a constituency in the Khomas Region of Namibia. In 2008, it was renamed after John Pandeni, a member of the South West Africa People's Organization and its militant wing, the People's Liberation Army of Namibia. Pandeni was the first regional councilor for the former Soweto constituency and the first governor of Khomas. This constituency is inside the city of Windhoek in the formerly all-Black suburb of Katutura.
The constituency was won by SWAPO in the 2004 regional council elections. The councilor is Rakel Jacob with more than two-thirds of the total votes.

I went there to learn about the history of Soweto market ,i wanted to know why its named after the the well known south African township Soweto. I wanted to know if there were similarities between Soweto in Zambia and sowet0 in south Africa, i also got to try the local Zambian food in Soweto market

Coffer cafe's dizzy with city lights, concrete sidewalks busy with friendly fights
But that's alright baby, it's alright come go with me and you will see city life, city life
Loud paper boys yelling yesterday's news, a pedlar man selling what you can't use
That's alright baby, it's alright come go with me, you will see city life, city life
I need you when the sun goes down, you pick me up when you're around
Come on, come on now, we can have a good time, this town ain't much unless you're here with me
It's like a woman, crazy just like a puppy, lazy
Just like a pretty jealous wife, I can't get free from city life
Secluded bars humming behind the scenes, hot wild guitars strumming, promising dreams
That's alright baby, it's alright come go with me and you will see city life, city life
I don't want to be alone, stay with me now, don't go home
It's a date, we'll stay out late and party, city lifes okay when you're with me
It's like a lion sleeping just like a willow weeping,
A melting pot for fun and strife can't get away from city life
