Alan and Jason together with Cynthia wowed us once again with their incredible taste in food and music! The Fejo group not only ate and danced, but enjoyed splendid views of Cape Town and Table Mountain on a ‘heightened‘ secret garden in Paradise Grey. From uMngqusho, pap, and chicken livers coated with chats and laughs, we were also graced with an unplugged performance by Cape Town’s very own Black South Easters.

Our Language Excursion this week circled the norms of current to future developments in and around Cape Town. We visited the major structures and areas, inquired and now understand the need and cause for these structures to come into existence. Cape Town did not just become what it is today without past occurrences, ideas (good and bad), current developments, and future plans that are already in place for economic, social, and developmental purposes.

Thanks for all.

It was a fantastic time with Kurus English and I’m very unhappy that I must leave Cape Town today at 19h00 – German time.  In Germany I have to see all the Mercedes on the streets and the weather is much colder than here…

Next time when I come to Cape Town I want to make a weekend trip to Sahara Desert, and I hope that the streets are free for the 12 hour easy going drive.

Thank you very much Kurus English team!

Mid-March is considered to be boiling hot in Cape Town, South Africa. So Coffeebeans Routes and Kurus English decided to wire things up, taste them, and air them! All of was made possible by Streetwires, Honest Chocolate, and Radio Zibonele FM a radio station in Khayelitsha. This week our students were granted an opportunity to create their own key holders, make organic chocolates, first of its kind in Cape Town, and visit a Xhosa radio station in the townships!

This week our students expressed themselves using different forms of media. We experienced expression in print media, hosted  by Hazel Allies from Athlone News, one of Cape Town’s Community Newspapers. Thereafter we visited CherryFlava,  a world famous marketing multimedia company based in Cape Town, South Africa; and finally ending off with Lo and Behold a locally and socially conscious magazine created in Cape Town from the editor’s 8th floor apartment! It is no lie that there are various ways to express one’s state of mind, and we at Kurus English ensured that this was achieved in a fun-filled, interactive way.

After a long week of learning, we are glad to say that we no longer have a our “backs” to the future, but have come to understand and bridge the gaps of ignorance. Today we face the future with a smile and a mirror in-hand because it is through our language excursions, with Kurus English, that we now understand the livelihood changes and steps that have brought us to Cape Town’s today, and the plans that are in place for tomorrow.  This week’s heading was “Back to the Future“, hosted by Coffeebeans Routes. We visited Cherryflava, Formula D Interactive, and the Green Point Biodiversity garden where conversed and created memorable experiences.
