Mzoli’s Street Caf

Probably the most culturally wealthy and vibrant regions of Cape Town have been in the townships. Obviously, you should know where you stand going and seek advice before leaving into one of these simple areas, but provided you’re careful, an excellent day trip can be purchased. Mzoli’s depends on the borders of Gugulethu, offering a street side barbecue, bar and dance club all folded into one. Most vibrant on the Sunday mid-day, it’s really worth a lunchtime visit. The system is fairly simple. You choose a kerbside table, visit the butchers, buy whatever meat you would like, and go towards the guy who’ll barbecue if for you personally. The next thing is to pop to the shebeen over the road, where one can purchase a six-pack of beer for next-to-nothing, and you will be looking for the mid-day. Having a DJ to create the atmosphere during the day, you may enjoy your barbecued meat and bottles of beer at tables around the pavement, while local people dance on the street who are around you.
