CAPE TOWN'S LARGEST TOWNSHIP PHILIPPI

With more than 190.000 inhabitants living together in cramped conditions, Philippi is one of Cape Towns largest townships and the city‘s poorest suburb suffering from one of the highest aids infection rates in South Africa. For tourists, it is not recom- mended to visit Philippi township without professional guidance or local counselling. Nevertheless, a visit to a local township is an exceptional and valuable experience. Often, visitors come to Cape Town and get struck by the sight of the townships. The situations they experience on-site brings them closer to the reality of local inhab- itants and the living conditions they are confornted with every day.
