Proudly Macassar Pottery

A township tour in Cape Town should be great for everybody - the visitor should experience connectedness and a contribution to the lives and hearts of real people, and the hosts should feel that they have blessed their visitors with something of Africa's beauty and ingenuity. PROUDLY MACASSAR POTTERY upskills and employs young people who have not finished school. When these youths receive our visitors as part of our TOWNSHIP CLAY EXPERIENCE, guiding them through clay exercises or teaching them how to play the musical instruments we make from clay, we are celebrating humanity. We are connecting the dots. Places and people that have been divided, unite. We all discover beauty in what we thought were unlikely places. This is more than African arts and crafts. It is the craft of living and loving well; the art of doing life together. Proudly Macassar Pottery received the UnLtd SA entrepreneur's award for 2012, and was a finalist in the 2013 Premier's Entrepreneurs Recognition Awards.

Incredible way to not only learn about the history of Maccassar but to also have a fun time at the same time. The insights of both Johan and John Ross were amazing and something that I feel was something that I can take with me for the rest of my life. Highly recommend, as I want to go back myself.

Noon Day Gun

Reviewed By 971allison

The gun is fired every day at noon. Having being shocked for a couple of days when it went off we decided to see it in action. There are 2 soldiers who set the gun off. One explained the history and how they load 2 guns in case one doesn't work. It is out of the way and not much to see there but it's still worth the visit and we are so glad we made it. Can highly recommend

Bay Harbour Market

IMAGINE ….. a place where the creative energy and the vibrancy of Cape Town come alive in an authentic fish factory in a working harbour …. where people of all ages and cultures gather alongside one another to celebrate our unique South African spirit …. where the hustle and bustle of a boisterous market fills the air …… where local traders exchange banter with customers …. “that’s a bargain, fo sho!” … an eclectic stylish wonderland of exquisite art, craft, jewellery and fashion …. complemented by the delicious aromas of food to tempt all the senses…freshly baked breads, spicy seafood and citrus fruits … you pass a robotic mime drawing gasps from giggling kids … the sound of a township guitarist and a groovy sax …… punctuated by singing seagulls …. where the famous beauty of Chapman’s Peak looms overhead ………. and the vibe is just sommer lekker!
