Dlala Nje was founded in October 2012 and, in a nutshell, aims to
challenge perceptions
and to
create opportunities
.
We do this through running
inner-city immersions
and
experiences
in some of our city’s most
misunderstood areas
.
These immersions and walks have allowed us to build and run a
community center
aimed at providing a safe learning environment for
children
and
youth
.

Grant started out as a teenager visiting Dlala Nje after school to stay out of trouble. He then joined Dlala as a tour guide before moving on to manage and organise events, immersions and experiences. He's great with people, and loves spending time in the community centre. You'll often find him on his downtime kicking a ball around with the kids.

Jono takes photos for a living because the corporate world would bore him to death. He’d rather show people the real world as a professional photographer. Understanding communities and how South Africa works. By standing shoulder to shoulder with the everyday man. Life through the lens. Never a truer word spoken. Phone number
