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!
