Eastern Suburbs - Cape Flats

Incl. Cross Roads, Gugulethu, Khayelitsha, Langa, Mitchell’s Plain, Macassar and Manenberg


A vast, sprawling area which takes in many of the former townships (forced settlements of the previous apartheid-regime - and the infamous 'Group Areas Act'), stretching from the central Cape Flats to the towering Hottentots Hollands Mountains in the east.  It's a sandy, windswept plain - but the people are the result of a melting pot of cultures, religions and backgrounds.  They're a vibrant, social, colourful people - with a rich heritage of music, arts, cuisine and optimism.
