Why visit Informal Businesses
Understand how the township economy really functions — beyond the tourist headline stops.
Meet the entrepreneurs building livelihoods and, where appropriate, buy from them directly.
Where Informal Businesses is
Throughout Langa and neighbouring townships — on main streets, in courtyards and along transport routes.
What to expect
A walking segment with a local guide who introduces you to a handful of the neighbourhood's businesses.
Interactions are always led by the guide's relationships — never a drop-in for photographs.
