That is exactly what RLabs has been doing for the almost two years in Mitchells Plain.‘When people think about tourism they don’t think about Mitchells Plain’, says Chenique Jacobs, Project Lead for RLabs House, a non-governmental organisation.
To help turn community into a tourist spot, RLabs have created a number of experiences under the ‘Westridge Tourism Precinct Project’. First Thursdays Mitchells Plain is one of those experiences.The monthly event is held in Westridge and gives people access to food, stalls, art and live entertainment. The vendors and performers are from the Cape Flats.
The theme for the event is ‘It’s the small things’ Jacobs says that they are focusing on ‘underdogs in the community who are overlooked’.Cape {town} Etc discount:.
