Begin your tuk-tuk journey through the historic heart of Langa. Drive slowly through selected historic streets while your guide explains how the township developed. Learn about early Langa housing, township planning, churches and schools, community institutions, local businesses, and how families built communities under difficult circumstances.
Stop at the Langa Dompas/Pass Museum, one of the tour’s main historical stops. Continue by tuk-tuk through the areas connected to Langa’s resistance history. Drive through or alongside appropriate hostel areas and learn about the migrant-labor system that influenced the development of townships.
Drive towards the Langa sports facilities and learn about the township's community life. Move from historical Langa into modern Langa and make a pre-arranged stop at a local food business. Depending on the establishment, enjoy traditional Xhosa food, a township-style meal, local snacks, bread, tea or coffee, or traditional drinks.
Return towards the cultural centre and make a short stop with a local artist, craftsperson, or community enterprise. Experience local artwork, beadwork, handmade crafts, clothing, photography, music, and community art.
