You step off the minivan into a courtyard where the rhythm of conversation is as deliberate as the steam rising from a cup of filter coffee. Langa's painted houses and side-street markets frame a living room of the community: people trading stories, the smell of roasted beans, and a host who introduces themselves not as a guide but as a neighbor.
