I am joining a XHOSA community in South Africa 🇿🇦 [S5 – Eps. 16]

Itchy Boots 19:30 April 2021

EDITORIAL SUMMARY

This Season 5 episode follows a motorcycle ride to Bulungula, on South Africa’s Wild Coast. The destination is a stay with a local Xhosa community, with time set aside to learn about culture and everyday life.

About this film

Part of Itchy Boots’ Southern Africa journey, the film centres on reaching Bulungula and spending time with people in the community. Its focus moves beyond the ride itself to an encounter with local culture, beliefs and ways of living. The episode runs for 19 minutes and 30 seconds, giving this stop a place within the broader motorcycle-travel series rather than presenting it as a standalone destination guide.

The journey

The ride is to Bulungula, a remote destination on the Wild Coast that the description characterises as hard to reach and among South Africa’s least developed areas. The visit is built around staying with the local Xhosa community and learning more about their culture, beliefs and way of life. The supplied route detail is limited to the ride to Bulungula, so the journey’s defining element here is its destination and the community stay that follows.

What to expect

  • A motorcycle journey to Bulungula on the Wild Coast
  • A stay with a local Xhosa community
  • A focus on culture, beliefs and everyday life
