On Saturday February 15th 2020, a WOMAN ZONE group went to Langa, on a long-anticipated visit to the house of Gogo Gala,

Then we took to the streets - Washington St in particular, where we found Guga S'thebe.....

A Cultural Centre filled with Art....art and craft of all kinds....

Time for a group pic.....

....to Gogo's house, where she and her neighbour had prepared a feast for us, and strewn the floor with leaves like an olive branch.....
Picture
Pumla brought Gogo spices from her collection.....
Picture
....and her friend from London told us stories of Gogo's naughty days in the British capital!

Picture
We shared.....

We brought Gogo a spekboom....or iqwanisha....

The children sang.....friends were made.....
