Really proud of Annette. The South African township landscape is a goldmine of economic opportunities for indigenous locals. The township was Apartheid's design and biggest weapon against black social and economic progress, and we used it as a counter-weapon against them by building social cohesion which gave rise to the freedom struggle across the whole country. It's about time we started using it for our economic advancement as well. Sis Annette is carrying the torch for our generation. The solution to the overwhelming crime in the Townships is bringing economic opportunities home.
Thanks Tayo for this feature.
👊👏
Definitely!!!
Thanks for watching. Appreciate your comment!
Very intriguing comment.
Invest on the Townships has the biggest Buying power in South Africa Africa Townships Are the heart of South Africa economy
I love her, when she said ' I have been exposed to luxury and opulence and I thought why not bring it home', damn just profound.
South africa 🇿🇦 with interior design is the best in the world 🌎
Even their mansions interior and exterior design, landscape they are top notch some developed country don't even come close they have very talented architects
Tayo you are one of a kind thank you maan bhuti.....Khayelitsha is not a slum we have everything here. From parks to Library, stadium, clinics, schools, hospital, police station, court, malls, electricity running water drinkable at that. The list is endless all I can say you find everything you want with out going to town
I'm an so proud of this woman . We need more people like her building up the community. This is a great opportunity for the people.
I’m Black American and I’m so proud of our sister in the Motherland for building up her community when others had given up on it. This is so inspirational. I will absolutely book a stay at her hotel when I visit. This is absolutely something worth investing in! Keep it up, sis. May the Most High continue to bless you. ❤
This are the South African that I know, the most hard working people you will ever meet around
That's not a slum bro, that is a "kasi"/ township. You can clearly see good roads, and properly planned infrastructure, hospitals and malls... never seen those in a "slum".
She's so inspiring, a visionary. We need more South Africans to see the world as she does❤
54 nice my dear but today i really need u to save me im broke this year because of a problem of behavior disorder and it is difficult for me to find a job so i beg u the best with respect to found me 5ghc for food help please
You’ve been giving us South-African content back to back. We love to see it! Love that your stay in SA created an opportunity to give us premium SA content.
I love SA. Its my 3rd home after Ghana 😂
@@TayoAinaFilms Someone is using your photo to scam people in the comments section
The Origin of Khayelitsha. The name is of Xhosa origin and means 'new home'. She is doing the name and her people justice, by investing where it is needed the most, and that is Home. Continue to inspire, shine and spark Tayo, another blessed video.
She’s very smart. By the time that neighborhood gets gentrified her establishment will already be a significant landmark.
Say it again bro, the gentrification is happening now is some parts of Johannesburg, wealthy individuals from outside are buying blocks of properties.
Great video. Tayo please note that Slum and Township aren't synonymous. Not every township is slum.

What an amazing woman. She saw an opportunity to add to the growth of that area when most people just focused on the negative.
Love it!!! Well done congratulations for the lady!!! We need more people like her in 🇿🇦!!!
Love your videos

This is the best part of Khayelitsha, I owned a house in Mandalay, so I traveled through the neighboring town. I'm proud of this lady.
Most of our content creators go to the Cape and take selfies at Camps Bay; this is real content 👍
Really proud of people who don't leave townships...because if we all leave then it doesn't change the narrative at all.
This Beautiful township beying called a Slum has running/drinkable water, Electricity, Sewage systems, waste management systems and very good access roads etc. It is a properly planned ‘location’ as we love to call it as South Africans.
Thank you for the content! ❤️
it's really crazy, Khayelitsha is definitely not a slum...we shouldn't allow outsiders to come and define our way of life for us....
@@nomhlembassa4249 He has lived in SA, I’m sure he knows the difference.
The caption offended me honestly
@@monicam4724 why should it offend you when townships are slums. When the whites settled you guys in the townships, they settled you guys in slums But used the “word” townships to stroke your ego. I’m sorry but these are slums and there’s nothing to be ashamed of
@@khongelanishiluvana3467 You can live in a country and still not know its language or terminology.
I think Khayelitsha looks quite lovely.
I agree with you, it's clean. It could be better but we know slums, that's not a slum.
Thats because its not really a slum.
Townships are not slums. Many townships are same as any other suburbs. The difference between township and suburbs is that townshourips were designed for Blacks, and Coloured people, and suburbs were for whites and Indians only. In government terminology, when a new suburb is buid, including gated communities, they refer it as township is established. The planning is the same. In townships,, especially in Gauteng, there are millionairs staying there. Information settlement is when people build shacks next to a townships mostly for work opportunities. Slums are delapidated areas, mostly informational areas. Thank for your informative video.
6 May god almigthy follow your way to a big succes u are blessed forever
South African townships are more like hidden gems instead of slums, what apartheid has taught us people of colour is to invest back into our homes and expand them just like this lady but we need more investments running in them as some of them can be thriving new cities
True!
@@TayoAinaFilms It would help if you could change the term slum, townships are not slums
Well done to her...Khayelitsha is most probably one of the fastest developing neighborhoods in CT. Our firm has for years been involved in construction of some of the infrastructure buildings in Harare Square and Kuyasa including Harare and Kuyasa Libraries, Live-Work Units, Environmental Health Organization (EHO) offices and Masibambane Community Hall

Townships in South Africa are not slums. One famous youtuber once said Soweto is the biggest slum in Africa, this after visiting Vilakazi Street, Diepkloof, Pimville and Maponya Mall. We know what some slums look like in other countries and they know too but that doesn't stop them calling our townships slums. I wish the drone images were zoomed more so people could see the real picture.

Who said Soweto is a slum 😯

@@nomfunekonosilela3895 🙄🙄🙄 I knew it
This is beautiful and I'm inspired 😍. There is a new trend I've been seeing around South African townships and some villages. People are now building beautiful Guesthouses and hotels in Townships and I'm so excited to see our people bringing beauty and glamour to our neighbourhoods ❤ In 2019 my husband and I attended a wedding at a village in Venda, Limpopo. We got to stay at a new and first guesthouse in that village. The beauty, good service, and vision that the owner had were so amazing. As Africans, we are capable of great things and we are the main target market. So why not bring these things home to our people 🙌

I so much like SA architectural designs
The area is not a slum, it a proper planned township. Myb your definition of “slum” is different from mine.
Great video anyway😊 Inspiring
I feel the same way, not all townships are slums.
Yeah it's not perfect and has its fair share of problems but it's decent. We do have slums in SA but Kayelitsha is not one of them.
If you don't like the title ..go n make your own video ..very ungrateful people ...you have many south African youtu.be rs..they must do similar video but guess what ...they have no inspiration ..a place full wiith tin houses is a slum..i have been to this place i ct..very dangerous .you can be exterminated cos of loaf of bread..i have told tayo several times ...you don't know these black south africans ...very difficult people ..i have been living here for 10 years and I don't have a south African friend .they love to drink too much ...blame everyone but themselves and if you burr the them money ..say bye to it..most of their men are quiet but violent in their heart
@@crimeandcontroversy9042 Please don’t come and spread hate in this comment section. If you do not like us why don’t you leave our country?
The work that Tayo does is exceptional, he is capturing the real view of Africa, it’s development and the livelihoods of the African people and most importantly the beauty of our continent for the world to see.
Don’t come here with your hate speech 😒
@@crimeandcontroversy9042 yet you left your beautiful safe useless country and came to SA. What is a meaning of Slum? How do you define slum?

Thank you Tayo Aina for your time and travels in Africa. God bless you
SHE IS AN INSPIRATION 🇳🇬
So the slums in Nigeria have such good roads and proper planning? Ohhh okay.
It’s South African
@@Gov_Cole Sarcasm
young, ambitious, smart, courageous, hardworking, visionary are some of the few ways to describe Mrs. Skaap, Africa has hope with young entrepreneurs like her, I wish her the best.
I'm from SA and I find most of these cool spots in your channel. Shout out to you Tayo for exposing African beauty and cool businesses

Beautiful hotel. So inspiring of her. Point of Correction, townships are not slums. As slums are found mostly in the inner cities. Definition for Slum is a squalid and overcrowded urban street or district inhabited by very poor people."
Location is a preferred word than slums , LOVE your content
Our township is on a different level lol we have everything.
I'm extremely proud of this woman.
You are not proud of the Nigerian Interviewing her? because he is Nigerian
He's not a bitter dusty like you.... That's for sure
@Pelo MK I am shocked that you are not the one leading the charge attacking Tayo for using the word slum wow. So people do change?
@@SM-mm3kg Goes to show you don't know me at all. I only rebuke when it's necessary and deserved. Tayo has never displayed any malice towards South Africa or its people, unlike others who will not be named. He's not biased or arrogant/obstinate nor does he consider himself above criticism. He treats and promotes all African countries equally. So whatever error he made here is completely unintentional
I think this business is the best ever, 4-Star Hotel inside Township. Damn that's a great idea. Just thinking that there are people from overseas who also want to live and experience kasi lifestyles. Black Excellence man.
Tayo, please please do more episodes on black South African women, I think they get such a bad rep (slay queens) but they are the certainly emerging as a class of their own in SA
They get a bad rep from envious people on the continent just like us SA men. In reality, black South African women are the most successful women on the continent
I am very proud of our great sister for the work that she did .We as a people can turn nothing into greatness just like this great sister.
Wow. Inspiring concept! This is how it should be... if you are lifted, lift your community. Thanks for sharing Tayo.
Wena Tayo where have you seen slums with such good roads ye? Nigeria, i don't think so.. Respect us..
55 nice my dear but today i really need u to save me im broke this year because of a problem of behavior disorder and it is difficult for me to find a job so i beg u the best with respect to found me 5ghc for food help please
Love it! Well done to Annette. We could all take a leaf out of her book to uplift the poorer parts of SA
This is a very innovative concept, generally if you book a package holiday to most African countries, you'll be driven from the airport to your hotel via the 'scenic route', which typically means you see few Africans. In Africa. I love this concept, I wish her all the best with The Spade.
nice my dear but today i really need u to save me im broke this year because of a problem of behavior disorder and it is difficult for me to find a job so i beg u the best with respect to found me 5ghc for food help please
I just lover her.❤ She looks and sound honest. I have been in and out of Khayelitsha many time and I have never been robbed.
God bless this young girl. God must save her clients.
This was a personal favorite of mine. I really love it when black people do amazing things for other black people. I really hope that they keep the service as great as the hotel looks. We deserve nothing but the best as black people. Thank you Tayo again for exposing this content to us.
I would like to stay here at this place in future when I visit Cape Town
GOD BLESS HER.
I take my hat off for you Annette for being a Pioneer in building a stunning hotel in Khayelitsha. I hope young girls will be inspired by this story. Keep up the good work and at least i know now where to go when I come to Cape Town. Good job Tayo but a point of correction Khayelitsha is not a slum but is called a Township.
It is a slum. They are the same thing. If you don’t like the video, then don’t watch
The place is stunning!😍😍 Township economy for the win
Love 💕 from Togo west Africa
This video was very inspiring! I love seeing my black South Africans going back to the townships and villages to harness the economic potential of these areas. We need more black entrepreneurs in the townships and villages who are passionate about not only the economic development of the townships/villages, but the social development as well. The government has various funding options available for SMEs, but, unfortunately, due to corruption, nepotism and unnecessary bureaucratic processes, these funding options never reach the people who need it and deserve it the most.
I'm really proud of you Annette! Continue striving, and best of luck to you and your beautiful boutique hotel!
Thank you Tayo for another great video!
Townships are like cities in some african countries. A friend from Angola once discribe Mamelodi as a city.
Thank you Tayo for embracing our townships 🇿🇦
Bless you Annette and all your hard work to fullfill this dream. It makes black people feel SO PROUD of you!
I am so proud of you, you are show us a light to develop our townships. Big up to Aubrey Dolwani for amazing interior design and Olwethu Patuleni for painting artworks
She is incredible. You have no idea how inspired I am.
POINT OF CORRECTION...... KHAYELITSHA is NOT A SLUM! ..... KHAYELITSHA IS a TOWNSHIP!
We love Anette and well done to her. she's a visionary along with her hubby. We are proud of her.
As South afircan we don't have a proper understanding of the word slum Tayo explain to us what is a slum. Khayelitsha it's a township not a slum .
In youtube or content creation there is something called 'click baiting' it's a strategy to get more people to view your content. No harm intended.
Danko
She has built a diamond in the rough.
In the USA ,we live in public housing or the project.It was the best place ever, we were so close to our neighbors and it was made up of good family’s. That was a long time ago. But now the GHetto or project in the USA many are poorly designed and cheaply built, often associated with crime. Slums, GHetto, project, It’s so sad if you are poor and can’t move out to better schools, and neighborhoods to raise your children 👧 in a safe environment.
Life is not fear right? At Psalm 37:8-11 is so encouraging to read. It give us hope for the future.😏
Very inspiring! I had a similar idea for my property at uMlazi but never had the courage to see it through. I am inspired!
She really knows her onion👌👌👌,the hotel looks so beautiful and perfect. The concept is lit and has baddest decor too.
Thank you Tayo for showcasing our amazing South African sister and her business. Great job pal, from a South African 🙏🏾
This is amazing if everyone builds a new property there, the landscape will change.
Dear Annette! I am so inspired by your story and how you centered the joy and happiness of people of African descent exactly where they are in Cape Town. You have a poise about you that speaks authenticity and leadership. I wish you lots of success and will keep your spot in mind when in Cape Town ❤️ #blackwomendeliver 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

That part of Khayelitsha is nothing close to slums, I love the video though❤
I am so proud of her uplifting black women in SA.
Thank you Tayo for sharing with us definitely planning to visit Khayelitsha in person.
This channel never sees to amaze me.
I'm from CT and heard about this in the news looks incredible

Define slum sir!
Absolutely in awe of this development. Thank you Tayo for highlighting the best out of the people of South Africa! 🇿🇦
Thank you Tayo for showing South African local busineses we didn't know they exist. Highly appreciated.
Advancement thrives on innovation. She saw an opportunity TO DO something and she took an advantage of it to develop her “hometown.” What a brilliant idea! Also, to see that they built all of that without any help from foreign investors, simply admirable given the quality of things there.
45 May god almigthy follow your way to a big succes u are blessed forever
Love the interior designs and the spacious rooms.. that's comfort at its best.
Im so proud of this Lady. The luxury in the hotel is extraordinary. Oh wow!
Her hotel is beautiful!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Khayelitsha is not a jungle❤💥💥
If Africa must be seen as ready to contribution the good of humanity we must start to think and do things like good human beings who have all the people at heart.
A slum might be what we call a squatter camp, I don't know much about khayelitsha but some south africans might be lost a bit when someone aticulates the word slum
it started like this in places like sandton, and it snow balled. This is a very inspiring story. All the best with future endeavors, we love to see such pioneering moves...
Thanks for being part of the paradigm shift sweeping across Africa... The money will follow establishments such as this, and a rising tide lifts all ships. I'd have never known about this place had it not been for your channel and this lady's work.
I will be booking my next stay in South Africa at the Spade Boutique Hotel!! Awesome video
Just came from Cape Town for the first time (documented on my channel)
I really wanted to experience the township since I grew up in one but we ended up taking a drive around Langa and going to church there. I loved it.
Had I seen this earlier definitely would have booked here

This is certainly a unique concept. I've never seen a hotel design like this. Usually the focus is on room quantity. This hotel looks like a well thought-through piece of art. I really hope that business will be driven there. All the best.

thanks Tayo for the beautiful content.
I wish to lend my voice on the ongoing conversations around using terms like "township" instead of "slums".
Although both terms refer to similar if not thesame living conditions.
However there is a very negative connotation with using "slums"....the word today almost strips the diginity of those staying in such areas.
for instance - broke vs poor - both refers to thesame situation....but one is more dignifying than the other.
so, personally this conversation about using the right dignified terms should be centered on humanising padegogy.....knowledge should be empowering.
I cannot like your comment enough.
Human dignity is at the core of this whole "debate", Africans have a very long history of indignity, so we are very sensitive to words that even contain a hint of an attempt to strip our dignity away from us.
We really cannot perpetuate our own suffering with sensationalism.
We need more people like her to change the narrative and reality
From the bottom of my heart im proud of Tayo Aina for promoting independent small business across corners of Africa, your content continues to inspire young black men and women.
She is a great business woman. South Africa is full of inspiring young black entrepreneurs. Great questions from you as well even though we hate the word slum. You did a great job. Glad you are enjoying SA. Well done for making the most of your stay and getting great content.
54 nice my dear but today i realy need u to save me im broke this year due to sickness so i beg u the best with respect to found me 5ghc for food help please
This is awesome
I have been to Kayelitsha it's definitely not a slum...I have been to two of their clubs: Kwa-Ace & Rands...great vibes all the way...Kayelitsha is basically "e-kasi" which means the "hood". There is definitely a high crime rate just like neighbouring Gugulethu...but trust me this place isn't a slum more like a lower to lower-middle income township. I have been in actual slums in SouthAfrica, Mozambique & Swaziland....this place is developing in its own unique way and doesn't qualify as a slum.
This is exactly what I was saying ..

Great interview with thoughtful questions and good engagement! I don't think it's necessary to bring up any of the stereotypes (lies that have been told about us from others). She's a visionary who delivered results. Those hotel designs are better than many name brand high end hotels.
I am South African living in Cape Town and we do not have ‘slum areas’ but townships. There is a big difference between a township and slum areas. Don’t use words for clicks

WOW that's brilliant, and great to see locals with strong economic vision / endeavour, bring such business ventures to fruition. Even through the storm, of finding it most difficult to raise capital, derived from historical financial institution's "bias" - [intentional discriminatory / oppressive] practices, yet you never wavered / allowed thoss nay sayers to steal your dream. Annette well done for staying on course with all your projects, and best wishes for those soon to come on stream, as I'm sure it couldn't have been an easy journey at all. Your story is such an inspiration, and I'm always especially even more empowered, when I can see Black & people of colour from across the globe, following their creativity calling to change the negative narrative, by just going for it; particularly those who proactively aspire to transform / change their local economies' trajectory, ultimately creating employment and progression opportunities for their home town. Keep up the excellent work you're doing, and your businesses will continue to soar while contributing towards SA's development. 👍👏
