One of the oldest townships in SA, Langa in Cape Town, Western Cape, celebrates 100 years of existence this year.
The township, which is named after the chief of Amahlubi, King Langalibalele, plan to mark the big milestone with a series of celebrations that will take place throughout the year. The township also wants to honour its own talent that has put it on the map through academic excellence, sports and arts.
Speaking to one of Langa tour guides and a product of the township, Alfred Magwaca, he said as they celebrate 100 years they want to reinstall one of values that kept the community of Langa together, the sense of ubuntu . Magwaca said over the years a bad culture of crime manifested because people no longer had values and principles.
