Meanwhile house prices in cape towns old town have risen dramatically. The hills surrounding cape town have been home to the cape malays for hundreds of years. Many are descendents of slaves brought here against their will. Many are now concerned that their quarter called bokaap will soon dramatically change. People like Faldela Tolker and her family in their violet house on the corner. They have lived here for generations. But tolker says she doesnt know how much longer she can afford to stay. Property taxes have been rising for years. Now almost half of the familys income goes t to y these taxes. People knock on my door and tell me they want to buy my house. Thats not even with my house being for sale or anything. I heard a lot of things that they want to make bokaap a commercial area. And in order to makake bokaap a a commerercial area, they y havo get the people of bokaap out. Bokaap is one of the oldest quarters of cape town almost 300 years old. Its first residents were former slaves from malaysia, indonesia, and other parts of africa. Soon, more craftsmen and tradesmen joined them. This truly unique cultural quarter might soon be in danger of disappearing. And this is why throughout the quarter luxury apartments are , being built. Faldela tolker and her friend jacky poking want to put a stop to the new construction, not only because they think they dont fit in. So, this building goes up, 55 apartments, minimum of 2 million each, affects everybody on this side. It pushes up the rates which in turn forces people out. People dont want to move but if they cant afford to live here and pay the rates, they lose the house, which means they move. Many resisidents believeve t people likike yoann nicocolas and his wife adheera are to blame. The couple bought three houses at once in the quarter, and renovated them. Neither of them were born here. Hes french, and while adheera is south african, she comes from another city. However, both are convinced they are doing the quarter a service by purchasing and renovating these properties. It is a costly exercise, and thats often, i think, the problem we have in the booka. A lot of people are selling their houses because they cannot afford to renovate it. Nicolas has turned one of the houses into a guest house which has also angered many of the residents here. But the entrepreneurs are convinced that the quarter will only survive through tourism and investment and that foreigners are good for it. Bokaap is a tightknit community. Almost everyone here is muslim. Faldela tolker and her son regularly go to one of the mosques. In fact, the oldest mosques in south africa are found in this area. But the streets are now characterised by tourists in shorts and tshirts Something Else that bothers cape malays. Were told that the locals are still not earning any money from the tourists. Most just come for a few holiday snaps. Even the souvenir vendors are from elsewhere. Not far away, residents are gathering for demonstration this time a quiet one on a street corner. Jacky poking is here, too. Theyre calling for fewer new construction projects, and Financial Assistance for the residents. But Faldela Tolker has managed to find a way to make money from tourism. She offers traditional cape malay cooking courses. Bokaap food is sometimes sweet, sometimes spicy, and is influenced by indian and middle eastern cuisines. Her cooking courses make just enough money to pay her property tax. Tolker knows she is sitting on a what could soon be a fortune. The value of her property has boomed in recent years. Noway, jose i am not going to sell. I will live in this house until the day god decides he wants to take me out and my dead body will be carried out of this house. Faldela tolker says shes still got plenty of fight in her yet. She is proud of her quarter of capetown, and her culture, which has given this area its charm.
