Khayelitsha, meaning “New Home,” is the largest township in Cape Town and a dynamic hub of culture, resilience, and innovation. Located just 30km from the city centre, it is home to nearly a million residents and a powerful spirit shaped by history and transformation.
Born during the 1980s under apartheid-era spatial planning, Khayelitsha has grown into a community defined not by its past, but by its people—entrepreneurs, creatives, and changemakers. Mteto’s Child Villa is an extension of this spirit. Founded by visionary entrepreneur Luzuko Mteto, the villa is rooted in a deeply personal journey of perseverance. From humble beginnings in Town Two to building one of Khayelitsha’s leading lifestyle destinations, Luzuko’s story reflects determination, resilience, and purpose.
Following the success of Spine Road Lifestyle, now a thriving entertainment and dining hub employing over 40 local residents, Mteto’s Child Villa was created to expand this vision:
to welcome the world into Khayelitsha, authentically and responsibly.
