The Power of a Contemporary Witness

During apartheid, groups of people were moved out of large areas or townships to make room for whites. Often these spaces were located close to city centers or in desirable tracks of land. We visited the District 6 Museum where we spoke with a gentleman whose family was moved from that area.   Although the space is mostly empty today, and people have proof that they own the land, the government will not return it to them. Mr. Noor did an excellent job explaining his frustration and the hardships that he has experienced since this event back in February 1966.
