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.

We stood before our friends and pledged eternal love
To have and to hold
We both meant every word and spoke of one above
Love could not grow cold
Then I found myself so many nights
With time my only friend
And I only saw it in your eyes
Too late to make amends
darling
Time can be a healer or time can divide
I never meant for anyone to you from my side
But I'm just a man (just a man)
And it comes down to this
I was just to weak to resist
If only I had known I'd caused you so much pain
I would not have strayed
And tho' I promise you I'll never fall again baby
I must lie in this bed I've made
And tho' I'm hurtin' you I swear it was
The last thing on my mind
And I found myself on my own
One too many times
darling
Time can be a healer or time can divide
I never meant for anyone to take you from my side
But I'm just a man (just a man)
And it comes down to this
