Langa, the oldest township in the Western Cape, is celebrating it's centenary in style.

Langa, the oldest township in the Western Cape, is celebrating it’s centenary in style. This weekend, the proud musical history is honoured with a free Music and Street Festival, focussing on Jazz.

The city of Cape Town, says while townships were born out of pain and as a tool of exclusion, Langa has evolved and developed into rich and vibrant community. “So when this Town was set up 100 years ago remember it was far outside Cape Town. Cape Town was a tiny little village around the CBD and now of course it’s the closest place, probably the closest township to Cape Town. It’s now in the city basically. And it has really got a wonderful, vibrant cultural life. There are artists, not just musical artists, but visual artists here, there is incredible sporting here, there is wonderful people that come from here and a very strong community.

Ward Councillor and member of the organising committee, Lwazi Pakadi says Langa is rich in heritage and celebrating it means appreciating what Langa has contributed in the cultural aspects of the country.
