  Absolutely great tour with Jimmy  - I had a fantastic half day township tour with Jimmy to Langa township (actually ended up being 5 1/2 hrs, so take a little snack and water). Such an informative... Read more and enriching experience as Jimmy, and his young adult son, provided endless information regarding the history of Cape Town and the townships as well as so many details about the customs, language, food and daily lives of the people in Langa. Well worth the time to do this tour, especially since Jimmy and his son made it so enjoyable. Take a sunhat, sunscreen, walking shoes or good sandals, water, and a little snack. Would highly recommend it!

We also toured the Langa Township with Jimmy, This was a very humbling experience, we were impressed to see what the people are doing to improve the Township. The children were very excited to see Jimmy as well as us. Efforts are being made to emphasize the importance of educating the children. The Township has a building setup so the children have a place with adequate lighting and space to keep do their homework as well as providing a tutoring service.
