This tour is very personal because we are opening our homes to visitors. Visitors must meet the local people in Cape Town to hear from them their stories and other hopes for the future of their country.
It is an eye-opener because most people prefer to neglect this part of their visit.
These people were directly affected by the apartheid system so it is essential to hear their point of view about the country South Africa.
Townships often have a close-knit community where residents know each other, and there is a sense of belonging. This can make the experience unique and create a strong sense of camaraderie and shared experiences.
Townships often have a distinct culture that is different from other areas, with unique customs, traditions, and even dialects that are specific to the township. This can make the experience of living or visiting a township unique and exciting.

The Guga S’Thebe Cultural Centre is a public space where communities can come together and enjoy art, design, and performance. The centre has six active and tenanted studio spaces, a gathering space, an amphitheater, an arts and crafts shop, and a multipurpose theatre. When visiting the crafter studios you can browse their collections of locally sewn products, pottery, beading, and mosaic works. You can also enjoy drumming performances. The multipurpose theatre was added to the centre in 2015 through shared partnerships, community participation, and social integration. The theatre represents innovative and sustainable design, as it is built out of old shipping containers, recycled wooden fruit crates, and locally available building materials like straw and clay.

Step inside a grim apartheid relic at Langa's old pass office, where black people had to present their identity cards, and the attached court, where they were tried for breaking the pass laws. There's a great collection of photographs and documentary evidence showing what life was like in Cape Town's oldest township during that era.

It was a farming estate until the early 19th century when it became a suburb of Cape Town as the population and city boundaries grew. Zonnebloem became home to freed slaves, merchants, laborers, and immigrants. During apartheid, the area of District Six was declared a white-only area and the previous residents were forcefully evicted under the Group Areas Act of the apartheid regime. The suburb hosts the District Six Campus of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology.
