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.

"I am devoted to ensuring that tourists who visit the townships have an enlightening, positive and entertaining experience and leave with a deeper understanding of life in the Townships." Cinga Mngqibisa
