Private Tour
Duration: 4 Hours
You will hear many labels for the Cape Flats and the Townships: "the other side of town," "the danger zone," or "the unknown."
On this four-hour excursion, we move beyond the stereotypes to explore the future of Cape Town. We visit key sites and projects of transformation, meeting the visionary locals who are making this change. We examine how the city was formed and how its townships are being reshaped into economic and social hubs.
Consider the Facts:
- The majority of Capetonians live in townships, representing the city's largest distribution of spend.
- Unlike suburban areas, the majority of township homes are owned by residents with very little home loan debt.
- Khayelitsha is one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the country, with a large, thriving middle class.
- The National Treasury has earmarked billions for township economic nodes; the future of the South African economy is being built here.
We look at models for economic and social integration, exploring how townships connect to each other and to the city as a whole. Between these structural lines, the experience touches on the food, stories, and life that define the Cape.
