Description

Welcome to Langa, Cape Town’s oldest township. Today we walk through its soul—from art to activism, street food to stories. Let’s begin. Stop 1: Guga S’thebe Cultural Centre Where art meets community. This vibrant space showcases local artists and celebrates African heritage. Walk through Mendi Ave & Moshesh Ave Feel the rhythm of Langa’s streets as we make our way to our first taste of tradition. Stop 2: Waya Rostile Enjoy traditional roasted bread—crisp outside, soft inside. Simple, timeless street food. Stop 3: Eziko Culinary School Try warm, freshly baked scones served with jam, cheese, or butter—while supporting local youth training in culinary skills. Stop 4: Licks Tavern Not just a tavern. This was a secret meeting point for anti-apartheid activists. Here, the walls still echo with courage. Stop 5: Nomzamo Butchery Classic township combo: pap, chakalaka, and sausage. Spicy, hearty, unforgettable. Stop 6: Seven Colours (Xhosa Sunday Dish). This stop serves a traditional feast of meats, vegetables, rice, and sides—a colourful Xhosa Sunday tradition. Stop 7: Kwa Amanda Feel the flame. Enjoy fresh lamb grilled over open coals—smoky, juicy, and full of soul. Stop 8: Sozito Fisheries (Angolan Restaurant) Fish and chips, African-style. Fried fresh, served hot, with a coastal twist. Final stop: Dompass Museum We end with reflection. The first Dompass Museum tells the story of struggle, resistance, and the identity documents that shaped lives under apartheid.
