Township Tours
Local Township flavour
Tshwane has a long relationship with jazz music and numerous shebeens (pubs) in the townships provide live jazz performances while enjoying a traditional African meal. Include in your township tour a township home stay, lunch or dinner at a local Chesa Nyama, and an excursion to the various local arts and crafts markets.

The Jazz Capital
The name of one of Tshwane’s largest townships – Mamelodi – means “mother of melodies” and it regularly offers jazz festivals, like the annual Moretele Tribute Jazz concert which takes place annually in August/September. Atteridgeville has more than fifty jazz clubs and nine established jazz bands, giving Tshwane the name “Soul City”.
