You arrive in Langa to the sound of drums and bright voices — a township courtyard warmed by late-morning sun and the low hum of conversation. The workshop opens with movement: African Zumba, Kasi Jive and Pantsula rhythms that force a smile and loosen shoulders, then settles into storytelling where entrepreneurs and teens map out how small ideas become resilient businesses.
