Soweto (/sɵˈweɪtoʊ/, /sɵˈwɛtoʊ/, or /sɵˈwiːtoʊ/) 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 African townships south west of Johannesburg that would later form Soweto was propelled by the increasing eviction of Africans by city and state authorities. 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 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.

Plot: Eva Khatchadourian is trying to piece together her life following the "incident". Once a successful travel writer, she is forced to take whatever job comes her way, which of late is as a clerk in a travel agency. She lives a solitary life as people who know about her situation openly shun her, even to the point of violent actions toward her. She, in turn, fosters that solitary life because of the incident, the aftermath of which has turned her into a meek and scared woman. That incident involved her son Kevin Khatchadourian, who is now approaching his eighteenth birthday. Eva and Kevin have always had a troubled relationship, even when he was an infant. Whatever troubles he saw, Franklin, Eva's complacent husband, just attributed it to Kevin being a typical boy. The incident may be seen by both Kevin and Eva as his ultimate act in defiance against his mother.

Genres: ,Sinto a paixão renascer
E um sorriso me deixa
Sem jeito eu me abrigo
Em teu olhar
Não peço a Deus que me proteja
Do amor, da paz que prometeu
Um toque, um doce beijo seu
Num carinho me perder de amar
Pra não voltar atrás, voltar atrás
Olha, minha vida vai pra sua vida
Depressa e sem demora
Vou seguindo o teu caminho pois chegaste a hora
Vou deixando o sofrimento
Para a solidão, solidão
Nota, que nem o dia quer
Amanhecer agora
E os nossos corpos loucos pouco a pouco se devoram
No compasso em que decidem
Nossos corações, nossos corações, nossos corações
Nosso mar de encantos bons
Que dão no fim
Em lindas nuvens de algodão
Em dia feliz, em dia feliz, em dia feliz, em dia feliz
