The first stop on our journey through South Africa’s past this week was the Slave Lodge. Lucy informed us about Slavery in Cape Town and afterwards we had the chance to see a special Nelson Mandela exhibition.

The next day we learned more about the time when South Africa was ruled under an Apartheid government. We visited the District Six Museum and Noor told us about his personal experiences during this difficult time.

On the last Language Excursion we celebrated the Freedom of Movement by taking a train to Langa, the oldest Township of South Africa. Zozo, who used to live there, guided us through his hometown, showing us around. Before we returned to the city we ate Vetkoek.

The week was very interesting and everybody gained some insight into what happened in the past.

This week the Language Excursions were all about Art, Dance & Expression.

We hit the road for the Castle of Good Hope, where we met artist John Bauer. John Bauer told us about his art and showed us some of his handcrafted artwork. Thereafter our creativity was on the spot!He set up a few tables, gave everyone a big piece of plain white paper, a knitted teddy and oil colour and we all printed our own artwork in his unique style.

Dancing was the theme of the following day. We went to the iKapa Dance Theatre where Theo and his team taught us some traditional African moves, the “Gumboot Dance” and the “Pantsula Dance“. My favorite one was the “Gumboote Dance”, which reminded me a little bit of the German dance “Schuhplattler”. Performing the moves wasn’t easy, but I’d say we did pretty well!

For the last Language Excursion this week we drove for a drum workshop to Gugulethu. Lucky and his guys from Ilangale- Afrika played great beats for us and we were all smitten by their rhythm. Afterwards they showed us how to play the Djembes and the Marimbas and we tried to make our own beat!

It was a fantastic week!

This Tuesday was once again time for our FEJO Music Dinner at Alan’s amazing Garden.
The evening started with a steep climb to the top of the Garden where everybody enjoyed an awesome view of Devil’s Peak and Table Mountain. It was a good work out and all of us were hungry, so Cinthia & Alan served us one of their lovely dinners.
After everybody was full the music started to play. The African beat “rocked” and it didn’t take long until the FEJO Group opened the dance floor. There was dancing, chatting and laughing the whole evening and one of the Highlights later on was the small “concert” of our FEJO Group. They sung a couple of German songs and kept the party going on.

CHATTING, LAUGHING and DANCING were the themes of the evening.

It was my first Music Dinner and I’m already looking forward to the next one!

it has been a great experience and challenge for me to go all the way from the Netherland to lovely Cape Town. I am so glad that I did it and that you gave me the opportunity to develop myself, my working skills and the English language.
You made me more confident, more talkative and a more developed person. I hope that they still know who I am, once back in the Netherlands!
The memories I have are uncountable, the ton (or burning) irresistable!
Keep on growing! I believe in your unique concept, get it on the market!
I will miss you and the African feeling but we will stay in contact and Africa can’t get out of me anymore.

Besides, I promise you that I will come back so I am not afraid to say for the last time see you!

Good luck with everything – all the best!
