I was born and raised in Langa Township in Cape Town, and truly know what it means to be “proudly South African.” Established in 1927 as one of South Africa’s first black townships, Langa is about 20 km from central Cape Town, and today is divided into four sections including the Joe Slovo informal housing settlement, one of the largest in the country. Langa is a predominantly Xhosa-speaking community; “langa” literally means “sun” in Xhosa, but the township’s name is really derived from Langalibalele, a tribal chief and rainmaker who resisted the government and was imprisoned on Robben Island in the 19th century.

Namibia is celebrated for its vast open landscapes... an abundance of space in which to inhale deeply and bask in an infinite supply of blue, sun-bright skies and star-filled nights. Its immensity of space – it is the fifth largest country in Africa – is accentuated by the fact that it is the driest country south of the Sahara. But life there is, and in many diverse forms, from the Himba, one of the last true nomadic tribes on Earth, to the unique desert-adapted elephant and the bizarre Welwitchia plant.
