Township information:
Kayamandi township is situated close to the historical town of Stellenbosch. The township was built in the early 1940’s as a result of upcoming apartheid politics, creating a »black only« area close to the »white only« Stellenbosch. Today however, Kayamandi is the home of a proud and confident black community, some coloured families and even white inhabitants. The warm and welcoming township is open to visitors from around the world. Adjacent to the famous town of Stellenbosch, Kayamandi can be added to a Wineland tour.
