If you are a poverty tourist you will love this place. The living conditions of the area are quite appalling but tourists love patronizing the locals. It is very "real" and sad, not the best part of cape town but if you want to see all the sides of the city you should visit this place. It's a eye opener More

We went on a tour through Langa with MC from ProTeamSA. MC grew up in Langa and still resides there today. He knows the... More

Visiting the area was a very informative and eye opening experience. Being able to see the challenges faced by the people of the area was a moving experience. Talking to the people and seeing their happiness in spite of their daily ordeals made one appreciate one's own circumstances in life. More
