11 February 2021 marks the 55th anniversary of District Six being declared a whites-only area under apartheid s Group Areas Act.
What was once a vibrant melting pot in Cape Town s inner city was left barren by the apartheid regime.
In commemoration of those who were forcibly removed from the area, UCT News spoke to Emeritus Professor Crain Soudien.
Professor Crain Soudien is the chief executive officer of the Human Sciences Research Council and a former deputy vice-chancellor at the University of Cape Town (UCT). He continues to serve in the institution s School of Education.
