About this title

Synopsis

In spite of all adversities, the townships in Cape Town are characterized by "joie de vivre", by open minded and cheerful people. It is here that modern industrial society is amalgamated with traditional Africa and we find sangomas, fortune tellers and old ancestor and initiation rites.

This book takes the reader into a world of tradition, culture, communal spirit and hope and gives one some useful tips for exploring the townships.

"Ubuntu", the African philosophy of living together and supporting one another, is ever-present in the stories of life told by the people we met in the townships.
