01 February – Labour

Today we spoke to Faizal Gangat – owner of Cape Capers tours. Faizal used to work as an on-board guide for a large Tour Company in Cape Town. He soon realized that tourism was not benefiting the majority of Capetonians on the Cape Flats that’s when he started his tour company. He has won a number of awards in the tourism industry and serves on a number of advisory committees in the townships. If you want more information about the Cape Capers tours you can contact their offices at 021 4483117 or email info@tourcapers.co.za alternatively you can visit their website at www.tourcapers.co.za.

And we also spoke to Johaness Mangali – owner of Retrospective Trade CC. Johaness co – owns a boat-making business with his 21-year-old son Moses. He started his company after working as a boat maker for about 20 years. Johaness just like Faizal are two ordinary South Africans who once had a job but decided to do their own thing which will make them reap the rewards in future.
