Having grown up in a township himself, there is nobody better qualified to lead a township tour than Morris. He can not only let you in on some of the local history, but he can also give you an insight into all of the various cultural and social dynamics in play.
You can't understand people until you know where they come from. WIth this in mind, Morris kicks his tour off at the District Six Museum. From there he takes you deep into the heart of some of the various townships in Cape Town where you will see how hundreds of thousands of Capetonians really live. Make sure you take some small change along, it is customary to tip families who let you into their homes.
