Welcome to Ubuntu Kraal Lifestyle

From its humble beginnings as a construction site in the late 1980s, this once-ordinary ash dump has been transformed into a cultural hub that celebrates the heritage, spirit, and creativity of South Africa.

Our History

Ubuntu Kraal Lifestyle is situated in a neighborhood that has shaped some of South Africa’s most iconic leaders and movements.

The surrounding area is home to landmarks like the Mandela Family Museum, Hector Peterson Memorial, Bishop Tutu’s residence, and the bustling Vilakazi Street precinct.

It is this rich history and legacy that inspires everything we do.

Our founder and manager, Ms. Nancy Nxumalo, envisioned a space that brings together culture, entertainment, and community.

Under her leadership, Ubuntu Kraal Lifestyle has grown into a venue that caters to a wide variety of needs — from cultural celebrations and music festivals to corporate events and intimate gatherings.

At Ubuntu Kraal Lifestyle, we embrace the spirit of ubuntu — the idea that "I am because we are."

Our mission is to create a space where people can connect, celebrate, and enjoy life together.

We are proud to be a cornerstone of our community, offering a venue that reflects the warmth, diversity, and creativity of Soweto.
