    Whoever is currently managing this place lacks the vision.There are many creatives in Langa who could spark up this place given the opportunity to showcase their talent to ensure that Guga'Sthebe revives the once good old days. Currently, I don't believe the centre is serving it's full purpose.🤞

    We love tourism travel hospitality and new adventures. Their arts and crafts are way spectacular and magnificent. The tour is 15/20 brief and doesn't cost a cent. Guga Sthebe situated at Langa township in Cape Town

    I wish more events could be held here so that more artists can come and sell their products.

    So far so good. Events that took place in that venue are always successful with peace and discipline. Guests behave appropriately from the start till the end of the function hosted. Let's keep up doing good things with good behaviour and be living éxamples to the young ones.

    This is a humbling experience at the end of tour into the township. The workshop and those working to provide training and enterprises are inspirational, working in very challenging circumstances. They should be supported.

    I think ots the go to township arts and culture. You will learn a lot and the place is safe.

    Offer very interesting tour in the township, including church visit. Clearly, they try to sell you stuff here and there. But they don't get to pushy, even if you don't buy anything or little

    This was an eye opener for me! Looking at the rich cultural history and how the people of this country suffered in the past was astounding. I would suggest go with a tour guide and NOT yourself.

    Really lovely art and craft market supported by the South African Arts and Culture department. A beautiful decorated building with friendly ladies inside. Payment is accepted in Cash Only and regrettably no ATM available.

  • 5/5 Lars Van G. 6 years ago on Google
    Great place to see how the township's are working hard to eliminate the disadvantages they have experienced due to the apartheid. Amazing people who will love to tell you about what they are doing now and what happened during the apartheid.

  • 5/5 Luvuyo M. 1 year ago on Google
    One should see the wonderful events hosted by this space. The space is managed by City of Cape Town. There are amazing crafts created by the best craftsman from Langa. It is also a rehearsal space for Jika Madinga Dance Academy under the direction of Thabisa Dinga and resident choreographer Bruno Wani. There is well informed and professional tour guides too. They are always ready to give an experience of a lifetime to our visitors.
