Our story

It all started at an airport in America, during a Leadership Scholarship I had won. I over heard a conversation about what dangerous places South African Townships were. I couldn’t bear this view of my beloved country from a South African lady. I strongly disagreed with her views. I intervened. Explaining to her what Township life was like. Had she ever visited one? Had she ever spoken to any people who lived in one? She lived in smart  Newlands, a suburb of Cape Town and said that she would never go into a Township. No wonder I disagreed with her.

I then thought it was about time people got to find out, first hand, about Township life, and the effects of the old Apartheid regime, that encouraged her view, that Townships were not somewhere white people should care about, let alone actually visit. I knew then, in a flash, that I had to do my bit, however small to change this perception of black people and the Townships where they live. And so, I began my Tour business. which, after a lot of hard work, you are now reading about on this website.

Join me, and you’ll discover just how wrong the lady I met was! 

Thank you for visiting my site.

Meet the founder

Hi, my name is Lizo Mgobozi. I go by the name of MC. My family have lived in Langa since 1929. I still live here, and am passionate about the place.

So from me, you will get a truly  authentic experience. You’ll learn about the history of Langa, the social life, and how we live now, in a post Mandela South Africa. There is, a long way still to go. But you’ll see the imagination, entrepreneurial businesses that – albeit small, have sprung up in this sprawling community. My business is one of them! Please let me tell me you more…

" Unforgettable, Authentic experiences"

We walked through Langa and experienced the profound hardships, enduring hope, and a deep sense of community that define South African townships. We learned about MC’s childhood and his love for Langa. At the same time, MC took such interest in us. By the time the tour was done, MC felt like an old friend. One tour with MC was not enough.

Real Reviews

MC is open, engaging, and knowledgeable. I took a Langa township tour with MC ... The tour was fantastic and gave me a greater understanding of what it means to live in a township. One tour with MC was not enough.
My 2nd Township Tour with MC and it was as impressive, interesting and amazing as the first . MC is such a personality. This tour really helps to understand the current social situation in SA and it is something you shouldn't miss as a tourist!!!
