Description
Bo-Kaap is not just a residential neighbourhood but a commercial one. Famed for the artisans, craftsmen and shop keepers it has been an entrepreneuring hub in the city for centuries.

The story of Bo-Kaap is an EWN production presented and produced by Haji Mohamed Dawjee and Rebecca Davis with sound engineering and editing by Gavin Deysel. Our thanks to Beat Bangaz featuring Youngsta CPT for the use of the song Bo-Kaap.
