Khayelitsha is one of Cape Town’s most biggest townships filled with multiple informal settlements. Site C, a dividend of Khayelitsha is known for its constant gun violence, robbery and looting.

Beyond the reef

There’s no doubt that Cape Town is one of the most favoured holiday destinations as it has the most spectacular views. One cannot ignore the shandy towns close to the airport, at least Bill Gates did not as he visited Khayelitsha.

Many famous people know the area including the government but the safety of the township has been drastically deteriorating. Community members have often complained but not much has been done to improve safety.

Netizens were worried about Asemahle and commented:

@Mr Luthando Ndlaku understands how risky it is to go to Khayelitsha:

@Sinesipho decided to move away from the madness:

"I decided to move from that Site C, I'm resting in Goodwood now."

@Pinky can no longer deal with the violence:

"Today we had to have a talk with my sister about moving. Where are we to live?"

Romanticising the struggle

Briefly News reported that a Cape Town woman said the reason she leaves people's parties early is because she loves her house. The mother of one and wife took her TikTok followers to her stunning living space tour.

The online community reacted to the video, with many showering her with lovely messages. She captured her living room with modern furniture, beautiful blue velvet sofas, a coffee table TV stand and a plasma TV. Maka Zazi also captured her bedroom, which, like the other areas, was neat, with a nicely made bed.
