Local group assists in retracing roots and history of Cape families

The Old Slave Tree Memorial is located in Spin Street, Cape Town. It was an old fir tree that was cut down in 1916. The site is now an octagonal memorial erected on a traffic island in remembrance of the very large number of slaves that were said to be sold under the tree. File Picture: Theolin Tembo/Cape Argus
