The Guga S’Thebe Cultural Centre is a public space where communities can come together and enjoy art, design, and performance. The centre has six active and tenanted studio spaces, a gathering space, an amphitheater, an arts and crafts shop, and a multipurpose theatre. When visiting the crafter studios you can browse their collections of locally sewn products, pottery, beading, and mosaic works. You can also enjoy drumming performances.
The multipurpose theatre was added to the centre in 2015 through shared partnerships, community participation, and social integration. The theatre represents innovative and sustainable design, as it is built out of old shipping containers, recycled wooden fruit crates, and locally available building materials like straw and clay.

Stop At: Lerotholi Avenue, Lerotholi Ave, Langa, Cape Town, 7456, South Africa
Step inside a grim apartheid relic at Langa's old pass office, where black people had to present their identity cards, and the attached court, where they were tried for breaking the pass laws. There's a great collection of photographs and documentary evidence showing what life was like in Cape Town's oldest township during that era.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: District Six, Cape Town, 7925, South Africa
It was a farming estate until the early 19th century when it became a suburb of Cape Town as the population and city boundaries grew. Zonnebloem became home to freed slaves, merchants, laborers, and immigrants. During apartheid, the area of District Six was declared a white-only area and the previous residents were forcefully evicted under the Group Areas Act of the apartheid regime.
The suburb hosts the District Six Campus of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology.
