Avalon Cemetery
Soweto, South Africa
Avalon Cemetery represented the place to honour struggle heroes, and today holds the graves of many South African heroes. Hector Pieterson, Tsietsi Mashinini, Joe Slovo, Lilian Ngoyi, Helen Joseph and many more are buried here. During the height of the struggle in the 1970s and 1980s, funerals became one of the most powerful expressions of defiance against the apartheid government. In many ways, Avalon is associated with a history of defiance and struggle. Thousands of mourners would congregate at the cemetery to sing forbidden songs of freedom and chant banned slogans until they were driven away by security forces. Located in the south-western corner of Soweto, the cemetery spans 172 hectares and holds graves of more than 300 000 people.

Braamfontein Cemetery
Johannesburg, South Africa
The cemetery is laid out in neat straight roads with designated religious sections, including Dutch Reformed, Church of England, Roman Catholic, Hindu, Muslim and Jewish. The Jewish and Muslim sections each have their own entrances and, in the corner of the cemetery, is a crematorium established in 1932. This is the burial place of award-winning musician Enoch Sontonga, the composer of Nkosi SikeleliAfrica. Against the fence Bremfontein lies a section of Pauper's graves, which are unmarked. These were recently discovered to be those of the miners from the 1922 Miner's Strike. Not far from here are the graves of the once-infamous Foster Gang, who gripped the public's imagination with a wild chase and shoot-out with the police in 1914.
