18 Gangster Museum is an initiative in the Cape Town Township of Khayelitsha, the first Living Museum in Cape Town! The creation of the Museum is to help the youths of South Africa better understand gangsterism and the prison system. There by providing a positive alternative, for those heading down the path of gangsterism by giving susceptible youths a hands-on look into what that life is like! In the museum a person is exposed to immersive text and imagery, as well as experiencing a replica of a prison cell! This all facilitated by ex-offenders themselves. The Museum includes a prison cell, where an ex-offender and gang member is voluntarily stationed with the aim of interacting with the visitors and telling them what life on the streets and in jail is like in an authentic, first-hand way. The ex-offenders who are involved in this project share their real-life experiences of gangsterism and their time in prison- all in attempt to turn their lives around! Visitors are also given insights into the current crime and gang-related statistics in South Africa, as well as an opportunity to see how some gang members have undergone a thorough rehabilitation process so that they can be positive contributors to their communities. 18 Gangster Museum has an array of merchandise on sale; including portraits and other designs by ex-prisoners and inmates that discovered their creative side whilst incarcerated. This is the first gangster Museum on the African Continent and is, therefore, a very important part of the local Tourism and allows the community to offer something back! This Cape Town attraction is open from Monday to Sunday. There is a 3 Hour Walking Tour which explores, the History of Khayelitsha and how the Gangs are now are transforming and contributing positively in shaping their society!

Liesbeek River is only 9 km long and arises as several streams off the Eastern slopes of Table Mountain above Kirstenbosch, winding through Bishopscourt, Rondebosch, Newlands, Rosebank, Mowbray and Observatory, eventually emptying into Table Bay at Paarden Eiland.
The Upper Liesbeek River Garden is in Bishopscourt Village, alongside the river on land regarded as 'undeveloped public open space'. It is funded and maintained by the Bishopscourt Residents' Association, City Council, personal trusts, and local estate agents.
Until 2004 this Area was largely overgrown with alien vegetation and used as a Dumping Ground. Locals worked to remove invasive alien vegetation, replacing it with Indigenous River Plants, in a bid to maintain a healthy river and to make it safe for people to use the Area. On the banks of the River is a Boardwalk and there are a variety of benches, picnic Areas and paths dotted in amongst the Paths and plants. Dogs have to stay on leads, but it is a safe space for children and is wheelchair friendly!
