Explore the captivating world of street art with Africa’s first qualified blind tour guide, Winston Fani. 🧑‍🦯

Winston’s two-hour tour showcases the vibrant art and culture scene of Salt River. He recently guided a group of blind and partially sighted tourists from Østfold, Norway, who are members of the Norwegian Association of the Blind and Partially Sighted. They successfully navigated the street art tour with the assistance of braille plaques and QR codes. 📸

Some parts of Salt River also feature braille on the pavements to facilitate easy navigation for visually impaired individuals.

This is the year of a Limitless Cape Town and we are dedicated to promoting an inclusive Mother City! ✨
