The large areas of wind-blown flatlands that lie to the north of Cape Town are known as the Cape Flats, home to over a million people who manage to eke out an existence in a combination of townships and informal settlements. It’s also an extensive wetland. The area is the birthplace of Cape Town’s soul and art, its spirit of entrepreneurship and resilience. A tour through Langa, Gugulethu, Khayelitsha, Crossroads, Mitchell’s Plain and Manenberg offers an opportunity to mingle with the residents, learn more about their vibrant culture and support their enterprising small business ventures.
