In this episode of Inner City Voices, South African musician and Inner City resident Majozi takes us on a walking journey through Cape Town’s Church Square. Together we explore its layered past, vibrant present and imagined future. He walks the streets with historian Cameron Peters, unearthing stories etched into the stones, buildings, art and spaces around the square. Majozi is then joined by The Mission’s creative director Brad Armitage for a conversation about placemaking and what a more connected, hopeful Inner City could look like. A short walk later, he enters Ramenhead, where acclaimed chef and restauranteur Peter Tempelhoff (also known for FYN) shares why he believes in the potential and joy of running an Inner City food destination. Rounding out the episode is our CCID City Views segment, where cultural journalist and Heat Festival curator Mary Corrigall chats to Majozi about the artists and events that will fire up the city’s cultural calendar this winter. Join us for a street-level view of Cape Town’s Inner City, filled with insight, warmth and unexpected discovery.
Inner City Voices is brought to you by Mission for Inner City Cape Town. We enhance the street-level experience for everyone that uses the Inner City. We do placemaking and place marketing through: public space upgrades, safe walking routes, better lighting, retail curation, public art, activations and events. As a non-profit organisation, we partner with the City of Cape Town, the CCID and other Improvement Districts, Corporate Citizens and others to unlock private investment for public spaces. Inner City Voices explores the street-level experience of the people, places and points of view of the heart of the City - one square and street corner at a time.
