SCHOOL & CRAFT (Private
Full-Day Tour)
Depart the city for Langa with our African Guide to visit the Tsoga
Enviromental Centre, an important community hub that provides environmental
education and food-growing programmes, and also runs an income-generating
waste recycling centre.
Next, we visit a traditional healer (or Sangoma) to learn about
their important role in modern urban-African communities as traditional herbalists,
diviners, social counsellers and interpreters of the will of the ancestors.
Continue to the settlement of New Rest to view a unique development project,
where residents of the area make bricks for much-needed homebuilding.
At Siyazinga
Public Primary School we are given an insight into the many challenges still
facing South African education after Apartheid, as we chat to teachers and some
of the 1050 students.
We lunch at a local restaurant, sampling typical African food and hospitality,
before moving on to the sprawling township of Khayelithsha – an area once
intended to contain thousands of squatter families and which today, despite social
improvement and increased services, still lags behind much of the rest of suburban
Cape Town.
The Townships also have many success stories and we visit a highly successful
Craft Market, as well as the famous Radio Zibonele, a once-illegal radio station
started with homemade equipment and manned by volunteers and which is now a fully-fledged
station and trusted community voice.
