But this just made me more curious and more interested in the issue.
My initial plan was just to see the township in Knysna as the local tour offered there was supposed to be the best one in the whole country. I just knew I have to visit at least one township during my South African trip, to try to learn about life in these conditions. I’ve heard the name “township” before but all the reading I’ve done couldn’t have properly prepared me to what I was about to experience. The very first thing I’ve noticed were beautiful blooming blue jacaranda trees – I’ve seen them for the very first time ever and just loved them!īut shortly after I’ve spotted some destroyed neighborhoods, people living in collapsing containers.Īs it turned out it was one of the many townships, a settlement that can be widely seen across the country.
I had no idea what to expect from South Africa, I only knew basics, and so I was curiously looking out of the window, trying to spot as many details as possible. I was excited like never before – I’ve never even dreamt of visiting this country yet I was just about to land in Johannesburg, more than ready to discover this mythical place. The plane cut through the last part of clouds and after a long journey, I could finally see the first glimpse of South Africa.
