I begin by chatting with Uber drivers \u2013 immigrants from Rwanda, Congo and Malawi \u2013 who share what life is really like in the city today. Their stories highlight Cape Town\u2019s beauty and its socio-economic challenges, setting a compelling backdrop for what follows. Then we step into the District Six Museum, where history comes alive through photos, maps and personal testimonies. Once a lively, multi\u2011ethnic neighbourhood of tens of thousands, it was declared a whites\u2011only area in February 1966. Forced removals displaced over 60,000 residents over the next decade \u2013 families torn apart and community destroyed. Today, most of the land remains vacant \u2013 a stark reminder of apartheid\u2019s legacy. We hear from former inhabitants who recount heartbreaking stories of resistance, loss and survival. This episode is a journey through memory, resilience and the enduring spirit of community amid injustice.
