Cape Town's famous Waterfront is a popular tourist attraction, yet most visitors will be taken there by white-owned tour operators.

Nearly 1.6 million international visitors came to the city last year.

Despite the government's Black Economic Empowerment policy, there is still a lot of work to be done to give black tour operators a greater share of Cape Town's lucrative tourist market.

Despite the slow progress of Black Economic Empowerment, Enver Mally's company Grassroots Tours, which he started ten years ago, is a success story. He is now a director of African Eagle Tours.

Unlike in the past when visitors to Cape Town were only shown the beautiful beaches and mountains, most tours now also give visitors an insight into life in the townships, like this walkabout in Khayelitsha township.

Visitors to the townships are able to interact with the locals, have a drink at a shebeen and eat some indigenous food. Vicky Ntoza, runs her own guesthouse in Khayelitsha.
