Bo-Kaap showcases heritage and tourism

Organiser Munifa Canterbury, a Bo-Kaap local and Global Tourism safety ambassador, said it was important for local tourism operators to promote and represent their own communities.

Ms Canterbury, a martial artist, fourth-degree black belt, and sensei, uses her skills and resources to act as the eyes and ears on the ground in the CBD and Bo-Kaap tourism hotspots.

Visitors to the expo had the chance to fold and taste samosas, engage with local soap makers through scent and conversation, trace their roots on a family tree, and network with potential business partners
