On this in-depth, thought provoking walk/drive tour, you will discover how the apartheid policies of the previous white regime destroyed their homes and displaced 65000 people in District Six, a vibrant, multi-racial community of over a hundred years!
Where are they now, and how do they feel? What does the future hold? Why was Distrix Six left empty and neglected since its destruction twenty years ago?
- We drive through what is left of District Six and witness the reconstruction of the area.
- We visit the award-winning district six museum
We then proceed to the Bo-Kaap, declared a national heritage site, with it’s colourful Edwardian-style homes of the largely “Malay” community, most of whom are descendants of freed slaves.
- We visit the Bo-Kaap Museum and go on a walking tour of the area. The tour ends with an optional stop at local restaurant for a sample of typical Cape Malay fare of patato bhajee, samoosas, melktert and koeksisters.
