Khayelitsha /ˌkaɪ.əˈliːtʃə/ is a partially informal township in Western Cape, South Africa, located on the Cape Flats in the City of Cape Town. The name is Xhosa for New Home. It is reputed to be the largest and fastest growing township in South Africa.
Cape Town initially opposed implementing the Group Areas Act passed in 1950 and residential areas in the city remained unsegregated until the first Group Areas were declared in the city in 1957. When Cape Town did start implementing the Group Areas Act, it did so more severely than any other major city; by the mid-1980s it became one of the most segregated cities in South Africa.
Plans to build Khayelitsha were first announced by Dr Piet Koornhof in 1983, then Minister of Co-operation and Development. By 1985 the suburb Site C had 30,000 people. Khayelitsha was one of the apartheid regime's final attempts to enforce the Group Areas Act and was seen as the solution to two problems: the rapidly growing number of migrants from the Eastern Cape, and overcrowding in other Cape Town townships.
Is it random murder or mob justice? In Khayelitsha the community is the law. The latest police statistics show that this impoverished township on the outskirts of Cape Town has become, South Africa's murder capital. Here suspected criminals are caught, tried and convicted by the community. Their punishment is to be beaten with sticks and stones, while some are very often necklaced. Having lost their faith in the police, its this communities way in dealing with violent crime. This mistrust in the police is now the object of a Commission of Inquiry. But will this latest move, restore the communities trust and respect in the police? Watch Special Assignment on Sundays SABC 3 @ 9:30pm

Recently LiveSA made a news insert for eNCA about township tours in South Africa - do they promote tired stereotypes? Are they 'poverty porn' for tourists? Can young people re-invent the township tour? Photographer Andi Mkhosi gets irritated when tourists come to Langa township and take photos of local people without asking permission. She and her friend Onele decided to embark on a suburb 'alternative township' tour in Camps Bay (a wealthy suburb in Cape Town) to see how the local people react to being photographed.

10 Useful Tips About Travelling To South Africa for the fifa worldcup 2010 wrold cup advice and tips about travelling to south africa
You got your toecaps reinforced with steel
Hard-wearing sole and heel
Make those tired feet feel like new
Take your pick, black or brown
Great for the country or the man in town
You're gonna need a quality shoe
You don't want no stand-by pair
'Cause these'll take the wear and tear
Made to take good care of you
For that trip by road or rail
For extra grip on those rocky trails
You're gonna need a quality shoe
Now, they maybe ain't too hot for dancing
But I don't foresee too much of that
You ain't exactly gonna be prancing
Around in the moonlight
With a cane and a top hat
If you could use a change of pace
And be excused from the rat race
Just take a look at what's on view
Lace 'em up, walk around
I guarantee you can't wear 'em down
You're gonna need a quality shoe
Now, I wish you sunny skies
Happiness wherever you may go
But you got to realise
There'll be wind, there'll be rain
And occasional snow
You're gonna want to smile in them
If you're gonna walk a mile in them
There'll be times when you'll be blue
To laugh at rainy days and then
Make your getaways in them
You're gonna need, you're gonna need
You're gonna need a quality shoe
You got your toecaps reinforced with steel
Hard-wearing sole and heel
Make those tired feet feel like new
Take your pick, black or brown
Great for the country or the man in town
