Township tour
Enjoy a full Day tour of South African townships for a truly
original experience. This allows you to experience another
facet of Cape Town that relatively few tourists ever see.
Witness everyday life in a demanding township environment
and share in the hopes & achievements of the township
residents.
This is a positive and interactive tour, which will afford
the visitor the opportunity to meet and speak to the local
people.
On arrival, tourists often discover that they did not
understand the extent to which previous race classification
laws fragmented our society. Many people who the visitor
originally assumed were defined as Black were in fact
classified as Coloured or Indian and did not live in the
townships, but in other designated areas. We take our
visitors into the Townships, but preserve the integrity of
this Cape Town day tour by also introducing them to the
traditional Malay Quarter known as Bo-Kaap, as well as
Athlone, Rylands and District 6. These areas were defined as
Coloured areas with Rylands having being defined as an
Indian area.
The tour continues to the townships of Langa, Guguletu,
Crossroads and Khayelitsha. Here traditional healers,
traders, markets, shebeens and the church play an important
role in the community. |
