The previous suggestions about the Apartheid Museum, Soweto and the Hector Pieterson Museum, the Voortrekker Monument, the CBD, the northern 'burbs, etc. are correct.

To skip Joburg is to miss an important aspect of South Africa. I've seen the debate on this before and have stayed silent on the topic, so I'll add my agreement with David's perspectives and try and not enter the fray again.
