If you are passionate about football, South African football, the 2010 World Cup, as well as South African people’s unique vibe, this is the best tour in Cape Town for you to go on.

Spend an afternoon with our friends Craig Hepburn and Siphiwe Cele in the township of Imizamo Yethu in Cape Town.

The tour starts at 12.30 and ends at around 16.00 and is priced at R300 per person (A minimum of four people are needed for this football tour).

This township soccer tour offers a hands-on experience of the culture as well as interaction with the people of Imizamo Yethu. (Imizamo Yethu means “Through our collective struggle”).

On the soccer tour you will not only learn about the history of the people but also learn about the effects of Apartheid and how this community is now building a future.

Craig, a driven, knowledgeable and witty ex-professional soccer player, who can speak some Xhosa will collect you from the Centre of Cape Town between 12.30 and 13.00, where your first stop is the township for a 1 hour walking tour with soccer talk and anecdotes available from the start.

The great thing about the walking tour with Craig and Siphiwe is that you get a real feel and understanding of township life, and the important role soccer plays in these people’s lives.

After the township tour it’s soccer action and you will receive a coaching briefing session from Craig, who used to play for Orlando Pirates in the 80’s.

This soccer coaching session, with loads of informative soccer lingo and tips, lasts for 30 minutes after which you get to coach kids (playing & teaching soccer) for an hour, followed by a really special soccer match you will never forget…Laduuuma!

Forgive us for being so enthusiastic, but we can’t help it. Any keen football enthusiast will be able to teach the kids the basics of football, and even if you only watch soccer, this soccer tour is an eye-opener. It’s a great way to be involved and also give something meaningful back to the community.
