In today’s episode of Job Talk, Lois speaks with Winston Fani, South Africa’s first qualified blind tour guide.

We chat about Winston’s early life in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, the reason he moved to Cape Town (hint: it was to follow the love of his life), and his start in the tourism and hospitality field.

Winston also shares a little about some of his tours, including a street art walking tour, and his forthcoming tours incorporating wine and diamonds – two of South Africa’s big tourist attractions.
