Kourtney Jade returned with another video in which she was astonished by the vibrant township life in Cape Town. She toured Khayelitsha with her partner and could not get over the diversity:

"Khayelitsha is lit. I haven't been to Club Rands yet, but I did a walking tour recently, and I did go into some people's houses; I was on the streets."

Jade mentioned that the best part of her tour was seeing people simply existing:

"I did see the people outside doing hair, the music playing, and the people moving around."

The lady also shared that she felt at home in the township, which reminded her of Dallas, Texas, where she's from.

She captioned her clip:

"One thing I learned is that there are no homeless people in Cape Town because they can all create homes for themselves and their families in the townships. I also learned that 3 million people are living there. They have their own police stations as well."
