Meet your lead tour guide
Hi, I'm Moses Mhlongo, founder of MB Township Tours and your lead tour guide. I grew up in Alex, went to school here and have been working ever since. The community in Alex is my life. I have worked with the youth, teaching drama and poetry. I've worked with the elderly, doing art and craft. I have worked with child-headed homes, providing support and care. I've also started an HIV support group and have even started a soccer team for kids!
I love Alexandra township. It is my home. I know its history and its people. I look forward to sharing the heartbeat of this special place with you.
