Memories of District Six are as varied and diverse as the community that inhabited the inner-city area before being forcibly removed by the apartheid government.
Some of these memories are about the rich politics of District Six, others about its cultural contributions.
The 55th anniversary of the declaration of District Six as a whites-only area on 11 February 2021 offers a moment to reflect on what it means to so many.
Some remember District Six as a veritable melting pot while others have chosen to remember the area through a racialised apartheid lens. But even with this contested history of District Six, there are many lessons to be learnt, particularly when confronting issues of gentrification, homelessness, diversity and identity.
