The event was organised by community leader Alfred Magwaca and the Western Cape Archives.
on 27 April, with a 10km Freedom Run around the township. Since then, several cultural and sports events have been held around the community to mark its celebrations. Mgwaca told GroundUp that the public should look out for more heritage and music events to come. One of them will be an awards ceremony to honour legends who grew up in Langa.
Community leader Alfred Magwaca showed learners the vibrant and colourful art displayed around Guga’Sthebe. Here he is pointing to the collaborative mosaic at the front of the colourful building created by a group of local artists. ‘We will also have a legacy project to encourage kids to learn our history about our schools, churches, sports and arts. We will ask learners who study history at schools to interview elderly people from Langa about how they lived in the past. These interviews will then form part of our archives and historical records,’ he said.
Bulelwa Gqokoma of the Western Cape Archives, addressing a group of learners from Khulani High School, said: ‘We have records of what was called the Cape Colony. The learners must come to us to access Langa’s historical records. We will explain what information they can get from our archives and records.’Enjoy a nature-filled glamping stay for four in the Overberg for R1 200 .
