This Tourism Month, we’re continuing our My Cape Town series to celebrate local communities. This week, we explore Khayelitsha, a community shaped by its people, stories and local energy.

Taking us around is Buntu Matole, co-founder of ABCD Concepts, based in Khayelitsha. Together with his team, they create community-led experiences that connect communities across Langa and Khayelitsha.

“Khayelitsha is worth exploring. It has culture, history, entrepreneurship, the movement, the heritage, the people.”
And there’s no better way to experience it than through the people who know and love the community.

Places visited:
📍 Khayelitsha Remembrance Square
📍 Isivivana Centre
📍 Siki’s Kofee Kafe

Book your tour with ABCD Concepts. Call

📚✨ Stories can bring joy anywhere even in a hospital ward.

The Isivivana Centre Library was honoured to join Khayelitsha Public Library at Khayelitsha District Hospital, bringing books, storytelling and smiles to young patients. ❤️

We were invited by Khayelitsha Public Library and warmly welcomed by Paediatrician Dr Natasha O’Connell and the hospital team.

Together, we shared stories, encouraged children to read and reminded parents that reading starts at home📖

We are grateful to be part of the 1 000 Stories Before School literacy campaign and to contribute to creating a culture of reading in our community.

“Don’t just watch the film”

A powerful film deserves an equally powerful conversation.

Swipe through to meet the voices behind the conversation, then join us tomorrow.
