Cape Town - District Six   Prior to the Apartheids era District Six was a spirited and colourful district with music in the streets and quaint little shops where salesmen plied their trade. It was a “coloured” community and with the beginning of the Apartheids era the district was destroyed and its residents displaced in order to make way for the white population.   District Six was proclaimed a so-called "white" area in 1966 and residents, mainly working class blacks and Indians, were evicted from their homes, which were razed to make way for a white suburb.  The people were forced to "resettle" in bleak, outlying areas on the Cape Flats and by the seventies, the area was totally obliterated.  Because of the controversy, District Six was never developed and today, te groud is still bare, a grim reminder of the past.   Today plans exist to re-urbanise District Six – returning it to its rightful residents.    An interesting and very emotional account of the District Six history is exhibited in the museum. The museum is situated in Buitenkant Street and has been established in honour of the coloureds.   The most interesting aspect of this museum is that most employees are ex-residents of District Six and they have fascinating stories to tell.
