Urban area of Johannesburg, a former centre of opposition to apartheid (6)

I believe the answer is:

soweto

(Other definitions for soweto that I've seen before include "Township in Johannesburg" , "Group of townships in South Africa" , "Scene of 1976 riots southwest of Johannesburg" , "place in Africa" , "S. African urban area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
