5.00Chaney is a true local gem! He a young Xhosa man with a ton of knowledge about the city and the country itself. He gives you rundown of the social and economic background of the city. The local marketplaces, the Mandela statue and the significance of the place, the gardens, and threw in some local Indian snacks. Green square marketplace at closing was nice too….. not so hectic. If you wanna get a real feel for the city, this would be a great option.
