Le tourisme et la gentrification permettent souvent de revitaliser des quartiers, mais ils sont aussi parfois une menace pour leur identité, et pour le confort de leurs habitants. En Afrique du Sud, dans la ville du Cap, le quartier de Bo-kaap en fait les frais. Ses petites maisons colorées à flanc de colline ravissent les usagers d'Instagram et autres visiteurs. Une situation de plus en plus difficile à tenir pour les habitants. Après plusieurs années de lutte, ils viennent d'obtenir que les bus touristiques ne soient plus autorisés à entrer dans le quartier. De notre envoyée spéciale au Cap,Ruelles pavées à flanc de colline, le quartier de Bo-Kaap, « au-dessus du Cap » en afrikaans, a des allures de village, en plein cœur de la métropole d'Afrique du Sud. Un village aux mille couleurs, avec ses petites maisons roses, vertes, bleues qui font la joie des touristes comme Nadira. « Qui ne voudrait pas venir ici ? C'est vraiment joli pour faire des photos. C'est une attraction touristique, donc il fallait vraiment qu'on passe par ici », s'enthousiasme-t-elle.Chaque jour, une foule de visiteurs envahit les ruelles étroites du petit quartier. Un succès difficile à gérer pour les habitants. « C'est très beau ici et on comprend tout à fait que les gens veulent venir et prendre des photos. Le problème, c'est le manque de respect qui vient avec. Certains touristes pensent qu'en venant ici, ils peuvent faire tout ce qu'ils veulent. Qu'il s'agisse d'ouvrir le portail de quelqu'un et de monter le perron pour prendre une photo. Ou de demander à un habitant : "est-ce que vous pouvez rentrer dedans parce que je veux une photo de votre maison ?" », s'indigne Jacky Poking, résidente et activiste.Les résidents viennent d'obtenir l'interdiction pour les bus touristiques de circuler dans les ruelles, après des années à le réclamer. Descendante des esclaves malais, cette communauté à majorité musulmane est installée ici depuis des générations et y a fondé la première mosquée du pays. Elle a développé de nombreuses traditions, menacées aujourd'hui par la gentrification. « Nos tarifs, comme l'eau et l'électricité, augmentent d'année en année. Il devient donc très difficile pour les habitants de rester dans le quartier, même s'ils le souhaitent. Surtout les personnes âgées. Souvent, ceux qui ont vendu ces dernières années l'ont fait parce qu'ils n'arrivaient plus à payer », se désole Jacky Poking.De plus en plus de maisons sont rachetées par des investisseurs, constate Zaki Harris, habitant et guide touristique. « Dans ces rues principales, une maison sur deux est habitée par un Sud-Africain. Entre les deux, on trouve des Airbnb et d'autres locations à court terme. Des maisons qui restent vides la moitié de l'année », regrette-t-il. Zaki milite pour un tourisme plus soucieux des traditions, et qui profite davantage à la communauté, qui pour l'instant en perçoit peu les retombées. « Si nous ne promouvons pas un meilleur tourisme, il sera beaucoup plus difficile pour nos enfants de pouvoir garder le lien avec leur patrimoine culturel », estime-t-il. Difficile pour la petite communauté de résister aux assauts de la ville. Elle n'a pas réussi à empêcher la construction d'un immeuble de six étages en bordure du quartier.À lire aussiAfrique du Sud: le télévangéliste Timothy Omotoso à nouveau arrêté dans une affaire d'immigration

Writer and broadcaster Lindsay Johns completes his exploration of South African food, as he discusses the national dish, and what it says about the Rainbow Nation. South African cuisine is as varied as South Africa itself, and in this set of Essays, Lindsay has delved into its different cuisines for five personal and lyrical ruminations on what these foods evoke for him. Each Essay - covering one of South Africa's racial groups - offers distinct memories of different aspects of his many experiences in South Africa. We'll sample the different cuisines, and experience these nuanced and complex communities through Lindsay's eyes, ears, and taste buds. In today's final Essay, Lindsay strolls through the picture postcard community of Bo-Kaap in Cape Town, on his way to eat a personal favourite - tomato bredie. His lunch companion, meanwhile, orders bobotie - a meal which originated in the country's Cape Malay community but has now become the national dish. And as he reflects on the series, Lindsay wonders what this development says about finding a balance between acknowledging South Africa's troubling past and making a future together.

An incredible cinematic ride, embracing the best of caper heist comedy set in the colourful and culture-rich Bo-Kaap area of Cape Town “The Umbrella Men” is a must-see TIFF film. “The Umbrella Men” follows a troupe of musicians who are forced to rob a bank during the city's Carnival in an effort to save their beloved nightclub – spiritual home to their whole community. The music is written by South African Jazz pianist extraordinaire, Kyle Shepard. The film has received excellent reviews at home in South Africa. For example, The Sunday Times (South Africa) wrote that “through the “Afrikaaps” phrases, nuances and Humour, Barker has beautifully captured a marginalised and often misrepresented culture.” The film is being sold in Toronto by Known Associates Entertainment.

Unfortunately, the Club comes with a huge overdraft, due in two weeks for repayment to the bank on penalty of repossession, in a shady deal engineered by Tariq Cupido, a long-time family rival. Jerome decides to rob the bank itself under cover of the annual carnival parade when thousands of troupes will invade the streets, Tariq's troupe, The Maulers, competing against Jerome's Umbrella Men.

Famoso por suas casas coloridas, Bo-Kaap é uma espécie de bairro oficial do intercâmbio em Cape Town. Não apenas por abrigar residências estudantis e host-families.

Além do casario colorido, sua outra marca é a quantidade de ladeiras, algumas bem íngremes. É que o bairro fica na subida da Signal Hill.

À l’image du reste du monde, l’économie sud-africaine a été très affectée par la pandémie du coronavirus. L’industrie du tourisme, qui contribuait à près de 7% du PIB du pays avant la crise, est encore très touchée. De notre envoyée spéciale au Cap, Dans la rue principale de Franschhoek, seul le passage des camions vient briser le calme ambiant. Située à l’est du Cap, la petite ville, considérée comme la capitale gastronomique du pays, vit d’habitude du tourisme. Mais désormais, elle ressemble à une ville fantôme.  « Cet endroit est mort depuis le coronavirus, complètement mort ! », dit Takis, l’air renfrogné, les bras croisés. Il reste assis sur un banc devant son bar-restaurant à son nom. À l’intérieur, seuls deux clients sirotent une bière. « Depuis 35 ans que je suis ici, je n’ai jamais vu Franschhoek comme cela. Là-bas, ce commerce a fermé. Et là aussi. Moi, je remercie mon propriétaire, qui me fait payer moins cher. Sans lui, j’aurais déjà mis la clé sous la porte. » « On pensait que l’année 2020 nous réussirait » Et pour Vuyo, l’un de ses employés, il est aussi difficile de rester à flot. « Il a fallu réduire notre temps de travail. Mais je dépends beaucoup de ce boulot, pour pouvoir réussir à manger et survivre. Et c’est très dur, car il faut aussi subvenir aux besoins de la famille toute entière. »  ► À lire aussi : Afrique du Sud: l'impact de la crise sanitaire sur l'industrie vinicole Le calme règne aussi dans la ville du Cap. Le quartier malais attire d’habitude les foules, mais désormais, le guide touristique Zaki Harris se promène souvent seul. « Nous remontons l’une des ruelles de Bo-Kaap avec ses maisons colorées de styles grégorien et hollandais. Avant le Covid-19, on voyait ici beaucoup de jeunes voyageurs en train de prendre des photos. On pensait que l’année 2020 nous réussirait, que les habitants pourraient profiter du tourisme pour gagner un peu leur vie. Le plus gros défi, c’est de ne pas savoir quand cela pourra changer à nouveau, et reprendre. »  Les dommages collatéraux du variant La découverte d’un variant dans le pays, en novembre, puis sa rapide propagation, ont eu un effet dévastateur sur le secteur, et de nombreux vols commerciaux ont été suspendus.  Enver Duminy, de l’organisation de promotion du tourisme pour le Cap (Cape Town Tourism), espère que le pays pourra être à nouveau attractif grâce à la campagne vaccinale. « Nous avons perdu des dizaines de milliers d’emplois dans l’industrie du tourisme, autour du Cap, et cela a coûté au total à l’économie des milliards de rands. L’Afrique du Sud a peu à peu été perçue comme étant la cause d’un variant encore plus dangereux. Donc, la campagne vaccinale est une bonne chose, car cela va pouvoir redonner de la confiance. »  La vaccination connaît néanmoins des retards. De quoi repousser un peu plus le retour tant attendu des touristes internationaux.

It is a former township, situated above the city centre and is a historical centre of Cape Malay culture in Cape Town. Bo-Kaap is known for its brightly coloured homes and cobbled stoned streets. The area is traditionally a multicultural neighborhood which currently faces gentrification from the city. We will stand on the corner with a group of Muslim woman who are protesting their continued struggle with Apartheid. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Som solo-rejsende på fuld tid er det altid skønt at få besøg, især fra ens børn. Måske kan du huske, at min yngste datter, Clara rejste med mig i fire måneder i begyndelsen af min rejse rundt i Asien. Hun mødte mig i Bangkok, og så var vi i Chiang Mai, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodja, Hongkong, Kina, Nordkorea, Sydkorea. Og da vi kom til Japan, fik vi selskab af min ældste datter, Amanda, og vi havde to skønne uger sammen der – midt i ”Cherry Blossom Season”. Siden da har jeg kun set dem, når jeg har været på besøg hjemme i Danmark. Da de hørte, at jeg tilbage til Cape Town, besluttede de sig for at være spontane og booke en flybillet ned til mig. Og jeg kunne ikke være lykkeligere. De er her kun en uge, og jeg har planlagt at vise dem, hvorfor jeg elsker dette sted. Jeg har tænkt mig at være den perfekte turguide, og herunder kan du finde min personlige Top 10 liste over ting man bør se, hvis man kun har en uge i Cape Town. Den første ting på listen er et must-see, når du er i Cape Town. Ligesom San Francisco har Alcatraz, har Cape Town Robben Island. En ø tæt på byen, hvor der tidligere var et fængsel. Når du besøger Robben Island, starter du med en 40 minutters tur med en lille færge fra V&A Waterfront.   FAKTA OM ROBBEN ISLAND: Robben Island, som er et World Heritage Site, har sit navn fra det hollandske ord for sæler (robben), og det hollandske/afrikanske navn Robben Eiland kan oversættes til Sæl-øen. Øen ligger 7 kilometer fra Cape Towns kyst – og er 3,3 km lang og 1,9 km bred. Robben Island blev første gang brugt som et politisk fængsel i midten af 1600-tallet. Det var her de hollandske nybyggere sendte folk, der nægtede at bøje sig for kolonistyret. I 30 år fra 1961 var der et ”maximum-security” fængsel på øenm hvor apartheid-styret placerede dem, der protesterede. En af dem, der sad bag tremmer her i 18 år, var en politisk aktivist ved navn Nelson Mandela. Sydafrikaneren kalder ham også Madiba – og vores guide, der også er en tidligere fange, kalder ham Father Mandela. I alt afsonede Mandela 27 år i fængsel, indtil han blev løsladt i 1990. Efter apartheidstyrets fald modtog han Nobels fredspris i 1993 sammen med den tidligere præsident, Frederik Willem de Klerk, og et år senere blev denne tidligere fange af Robben Island selv valgt til præsident for Sydafrika. Guiden tager os med på en tur rundt i fængslet og fortæller historier om, hvordan det var at være indespærret her. Og så kommer vi ind i korridoren med cellerne i B-Block. En af dem er cellen hvor fange nr. 466/64 (Mandela) boede. En 2 x 2 meter stor celle med en tynd madras på betongulvet som seng og en spand til et toilet. De fik lov til at have ét besøg om året i en halv time, og ét censureret brev hver sjette måned. Et brev på højst 500 ord. Udenfor er en gårdsplads, hvor Mandela og hans medfanger spiste morgenmad, trænede og arbejdede lange dage med at hamre sten.   ”EN FANTASTISK MULIGHED” Mens jeg redigerer denne episode, er vi er midt i Corona-pandemien, og jeg er under lockdown alene i en lejlighed i Cape Town. Vi må ikke gå en tur, medmindre det er til et supermarked eller et apotek. Man må ikke engang lufte sin hund. Vi skal blive hjemme. Det er kedeligt, men når jeg tænker på de 18 år, tilbragte Mandela i denne lille celle på Robben Island, har vi i virkelig ikke noget at klage over. Vi har Netflix, YouTube, Wi-Fi. Vi har musik, radio og podcasts. Vi kan tale med vores venner via videoopkald – og det gør vi hele tiden. Mandela var bare alene i sin lille celle med sine tanker. Og alligevel sagde han senere, at han kom ud af fængslet som en bedre mand. At være alene med sine tanker gav ham en "fantastisk mulighed" til at tænke. Sikke en fantastisk mand. Han sagde det endda ikke så længe efter, han blev frigivet fra 27 års fængsel – og det meste af denne tid i en lille celle med en tynd måtte som madras og en spand som toilet. Og en nøgen elektrisk pære, der skinnede ham i ansigtet 24 timer i døgnet. Lad lige den tanke synke ind. Og spørg så dig selv, om vi kan bruge denne svære tid med social distancering som en ... "fantastisk mulighed" til at være lidt alene og tænke.   KALKSTEN GJORDE MANDELA SNEBLIND Derefter var vi på en busstur rundt på øen og passerede et kalkstenbrud. Det var her Nelson Mandela og sine medfanger arbejdede hver dag i 13 år med at grave efter kalksten, hvoraf nogle af dem var brugt til at lave vejen, vi kørte på. Solen skinnede ubarmhjertigt og lyset i det hvide kalkbrud var så stærkt, at Mandela blev sneblind – noget der beskadigede hans øjne. Vores guide fortæller også, hvordan Mandela og andre helte fra Sydafrikas anti-apartheid-bevægelse brugte deres tid i dette stenbrud til at lære hinanden litteratur, filosofi, politisk teori og meget mere. I 1997, tre år efter, at apartheid faldt, blev fængslet omdannet til Robben Island Museum. Robben Island er et must-see for enhver besøgende i Sydafrika. Der afgår ture fra Cape Town fire gange om dagen, og selvom jeg har været her før, er jeg glad for, at jeg tog tilbage og delte oplevelsen med mine døtre.   BO-KAAP WALKING TOUR Vi er ved foden af Signal Hill, i udkanten af Cape Town centrum; og vi er på vej på en tur i det, der tidligere blev kaldt ”Malay Quater”. Vi skal til Bo-Kaap, et af Cape Towns mest unikke kvarterer. Bydelen stammer fra 1760'erne, hvor en række små huse blev bygget og udlejet til slaver. Disse mennesker blev kaldt Cape Malays og kom her til Western Cape fra Malaysia, Indonesien og resten af Afrika for at arbejde. Det var en af de første sydafrikanske bosættelser med frigivne slaver og muslimske immigranter. Alle husene er virkelig farverige, men det har ikke altid været tilfældet. Det siges, at det delvis skyldes det faktum, at alle huse skulle være hvide, mens slaverne boede her til leje. Da denne regel omsider blev ophævet, og de fik lov til at købe ejendommene, begyndte de at male husene i pangfarver som et udtryk for deres frihed. Vores guide fortalte, at det var en læge, der startede denne trend – for at gøre det lettere for folk at finde hans hus. ”De fleste af husene var temmelig identiske, og folket havde svært ved at finde ud af hvor han boede. Så besluttede lægen at male sit hus rødt med hvide striber. Og så tænkte skrædderen, at dette var en strålende idé, og det samme gjorde den lokale kok. Så de begyndte at male deres huse i farver, der passer til deres branche". I dag er skræddernes huse stadig orange og lyserøde, og kokkene bruger stadig farven lilla. Bo-Kaap er lige så levende, som den er kulturel rig. Dette historiske kvarter er en dynamisk smeltedigel med kulturelle attraktioner, traditionelle restauranter, kunsthåndværksmarkeder, museer, en moske og kirker. Et besøg i Bo-Kaap giver både et blik tilbage i tiden, men er også et vindue ind i kvarterets moderne kultur. Du kan smage på det lokale køkken på en madtur, besøge Bo-Kaap Museum i bydelens ældste bygning eller gøre som vi gjorde: få personlig indsigt fra en lokal på en guidet walking tour. Vi brugte Free Walking Tours Cape Town. I øvrigt er Bo-Kaap fantastisk for Instagram. Især hvis du (som jeg) har to smukke modeller med.   LANGA TOWNSHIP ER BÅDE SIKKET OG VENLIGT Næste punkt på min turplan med mine besøgende døtre, var en tur til den township, der hedder Langa. Det er den ældste sorte township i Sydafrika og også den, der er tættest på Cape Town. I dag er det en sikker og venlig turistdestination og en meget unik oplevelse. En oplevelse, der er markant anderledes end andre oplevelser i Cape Town. Vi blev introduceret til et pulserende bysamfund og det kreative Langa Arts Quarter. Da vi ankommer til Langa, går vi ud i byen til fods. At være til fods er en mere nærværende oplevelse end blot at køre fra et sted til sted. Det giver dig en mulighed for at interagere med borgerne, når bor her.   HISTOEIEN OM DE SORTES DUMME-PAS Efter et besøg på et kunstværksted besøgte vi Langa Heritage Museum for at høre mere om Cape Towns ældste township. Det kaldes også Dompas-museet. "Dompas" betyder helt bogstaveligt ”dumme-pas”. Under apartheidstyret var alle sorte forpligtet til at have disse pas med sig, når de var udenfor deres township. Hvis de ikke havde det, ville de få en bøde, blive arresteret eller deporteret. Stemningen i museet er en blanding af misbrug, tristhed, trods og triumf.   SHARPEVILLE MASSACRE Den 21. marts 1960 var der 50.000 mennesker, der brændte deres dompas i protest mod apartheidstyrets paslove. Den samme dag samledes 5-10.000 sorte sydafrikanere i Sharpeville nær Johannesburg ubevæbnede foran en politistation uden deres pas. Deres mål var at protestere ved at blive arresteret. Men i stedet åbnede politiet ild på demonstranter og skød dem i ryggen, mens de løb væk. På to minutter fyrede politiet mere end 1300 kugler. De dræbte 69 mennesker (heriblandt otte kvinder og ti børn), og sårede 180 i en hagl af kugler. Siden 1994 er den 21. marts blevet markeret som Human Rights Day i Sydafrika, og Præsident Nelson Mandela valgte Sharpeville som det sted, hvor de underskrev Sydafrikas nye forfatning den 10. december 1996.   BØRNENE I LANGA Efter besøget på Dompas-museet gik vi en tur rundt i Langa for at besøge et privat hjem. På vejen dertil mødte vi en gruppe unge drenge i skoleuniformer. Børnene i Langa er meget åbne for besøgende, som børn er de fleste steder i verden. Disse skønne børn, var meget interesserede i min yngste datter, Clara og hendes kamera. Hun tog en masse billeder af dem, hvor de laver sjove ansigter. Jeg kan varmt anbefale, at du tager på en township-tur, når du er i Cape Town. Det er en anderledes oplevelse end at besøge Cape Towns spektakulære skønhed. Her er skønheden ikke i bjergene, landskabet eller planterne. Her er skønheden i de mennesker, der bor her. Som du ved, har Sydafrika været ekstremt adskilt i årtier under apartheid. Og stadig i dag har landet en meget stor adskillelse mellem rige og fattige. Ved at forstå fortidens kampe, se hvordan folk får mest ud af en svær situation – og tale med befolkningen ansigt til ansigt, forlader du Sydafrika med en helt ny forståelse. Det var en af grundene til, at vi gjorde det, og jeg er glad for, at jeg også valgte at dele denne oplevelse med mine døtre.   TOP 10 TING AT SE I CAPE TOWN Her er den komplette liste over ting, du bør se, hvis du kun har en uge i Cape Town – ligesom mine døtre. Robben Island. Bo-Kaap. Table Mountain. Langa township-tur. Køretur på Devils Peak Drive. Cape Point. Vintur og se den fantastiske natur i området. De afrikanske pingviner på Boulders Beach i Simon's Town. Lions Head. Se solnedgangen fra Signal Hill.   MERE AT SE Det var det, der kom med på min liste, men der er mere, kan jeg anbefale. Lav tid til blot at hænge ud i Cape Town City Bowl, besøg markedet på Green Market Square, nyd havet ved Sea Point og tilbring noget tid i V&A Waterfront. Du bør også undersøge, hvad der spiller i Artscape Theatre Center. De har altid interessante forestillinger. På mine besøg i Cape Town har jeg set alt fra stand-up comedy, ungdoms-forestillinger til de helt store produktioner med ballet og musicals. Jeg har set både Svanesøen, Dirty Dancing og West Side Story. Billetterne er meget billige sammenlignet med vestlige priser.   LINKS: Radiovagabond er produceret af Radioguru.

As a full-time solo traveller, it's always great to have visitors, especially from your kids.  You might remember that my youngest daughter travelled with me for four months at the beginning of my journey to Asia. She met me in Bangkok, and then we were in Chiang Mai, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Hongkong, China, North Korea, South Korea. And when we got to Japan, my oldest daughter joined us, and we had two weeks together there – during cherry blossom season. Since then, I've only seen them when I've been back in Denmark.  When I knew I was going to be in Cape Town, they decided to be spontaneous and book a flight to visit me. And I can't be happier.  I've planned to show them why I love this place, and I'm going to be the best tour guide I can be, and below you can find my personal Top 10 Things to See in a Week in Cape Town.  The first thing on the list is a must-see when you're in Cape Town. Like San Francisco has Alcatraz, Cape Town has Robben Island. An island close to the city where there used to be a prison. When you visit Robben Island, you start with a 40-minute boat ride from V&A Waterfront.   FACTS ABOUT ROBBEN ISLAND:  The World Heritage Site, Robben Island takes its name from the Dutch word for seals (robben), the Dutch/Afrikaans name Robben Eiland translates to Seals Island. It's 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) of the coast of Cape Town – and the island itself is 3.3 km (2.1 mi) long, and 1.9 km (1.2 mi) wide. The island was first used as a political prison in the mid-1600s. This was where the Dutch settlers sent people who refused to bend to colonial rule.   In 30 years from 1961, a maximum-security prison here held enemies of apartheid.    One of the prisoners was behind bars here for 18 years, was a political activist named Nelson Mandela. The South African also call him Madiba – and our guide, who's also an ex-prisoner, calls him Father Mandela.  In total Father Mandela served 27 years in prison until he was released in 1990.   After the fall of apartheid, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 together with the former president, Frederik Willem de Klerk, and one year later this former prisoner of Robben Island was elected President of South Africa. The guide takes us for a walk around the prison and tells stories of what it was like being there. And then we get into the corridor with the cells in B-Block. One of them being the cell of prisoner #466/64 A 2 x 2-meter cell with a thin mattress on the concrete floor as a bed and a bucket for a toilet. They were allowed one visitor a year for half an hour, and one censured letter every six months of no more than 500 words.  Outside is a courtyard where Mandela and fellow prisoners would eat breakfast, exercise and worked long days in the yard hammering rocks.    A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY Editing this episode, we're in the middle of the Corona Pandemic, and I'm alone in an apartment in Cape Town during the lockdown. We're not allowed to go for a walk unless it's to a supermarket or the pharmacy. We're to stay at home.  When I think of the 18 years, Mandela spent in this tiny cell on Robben Island, and we really shouldn't complain. We have Netflix, YouTube, WIFI… and TikTok. We have music, radio and podcasts. We can talk to our friends via video calls – and we do that all the time.  Mandela was just alone with his thoughts. And still, he later said that he came out of prison a better man. Thar being alone with your thoughts give him a "wonderful opportunity" to think.  What a remarkable man. He said this not that long after he was released from 27 years in prison most of this in a small cell with a matt as a mattress and a bucket as a toilet… and a light bulb shining in his head 24 hours a day.  Let that sink in.  And then maybe give this a thought: Can we use this difficult time with social distancing as a … "wonderful opportunity" to sit alone and think.    LIMESTONE QUARRY MADE MANDELA "SNOW BLIND" Then we went on a bus ride around the island and passed a bleak limestone quarry. It was here Nelson Mandela, and his inmates worked virtually every day for 13 years, digging up rocks, some of which paved the road we were driving on.  The sun was so relentless, the white limestone quarry so bright and dusty, that Mandela got "snow blindness" – something that damaged his eyes. Our guide also tells us how Mandela and other heroes of South Africa's anti-apartheid movement used their time in this quarry to teach each other literature, philosophy, political theory, and much more. In 1997, three years after apartheid fell, the prison was turned into the Robben Island Museum. Robben Island is a must-see for any visitor to South Africa. Tours leave Cape Town four times a day, and even though I've been here before I'm glad I went back and shared the experience with my daughters.    BO-KAAP WALKING TOUR We're at the foot of Signal Hill, at the edge the city centre; and we're about to go on a tour in what used to be known as the Malay Quarter. We're going to Bo-Kaap, one of Cape Town's most distinct neighbourhoods.  The neighbourhoods date back to the 1760s when a number of rental houses were built and leased to slaves. These people were known as Cape Malays, and were brought here from Malaysia, Indonesia and the rest of Africa to work in the Cape. It was one of the first South African settlements of freed slaves and Muslim immigrants. Now all the houses are really colourful. But that was not always the case. It's said to be partly because of the fact that while the slaves lived here on lease, all the houses had to be white.  When this rule was finally lifted, and the slaves were allowed to buy the properties, they began painting the houses in bright colours as an expression of their freedom. Our guide said that it was a doctor that started this trend – to make it easier for people to find his house.  "Most of the houses were pretty identical, and the people really struggled to find his place. So, the doctor thought that he would paint his house red with white stripes. And then the tailor that that this was a brilliant idea, and so did the cook. So they initially started to paint their houses to suit the colours of choice."  Today the tailors still use the colours orange and pink, and the cooks still use the colour purple.  Bo-Kaap is as vibrant as it's culturally rich. This historic quarter is a dynamic melting pot with cultural attractions… traditional restaurants, craft markets, museums, a mosque and churches. A visit to Bo-Kaap provides a look back in time, as well as a window into the neighbourhood's modern culture.  You can sample the local cuisine on a food tour, visit the Bo-Kaap Museum in the quarter's oldest building, or do like we did get personal insights from a local on a guided walking tour.  We used Free Walking Tours Cape Town. And then it's great for Instagram. Especially if you bring two beautiful models as I did.    LANGA TOWNSHIP IS SAFE AND FRIENDLY Next on my tour guiding days with my visiting daughters was a trip to the township Langa. It's the oldest black township in South Africa and is also the closest to Cape Town.  Now it's a safe and friendly tourist destination, and a highly unique experience, totally different from any other experience in Cape Town. We were introduced to the vibrant township community and the bustling Langa Arts Quarter.  When we arrive in Langa, we set out on foot to explore this wonderful community. Being on foot is a more real and immersive experience than driving from one location to another. It gives you an opportunity to interact with the people as they go about their daily lives.    THE STORY OF THE DOMPAS – DUMB PASS After a visit to a arts and craft workshop, we went to the Langa Heritage Museum to learn about Cape Town's oldest township. It's also called the Dompas Museum.  "Dompas" quite literally means dumb pass – or "stupid pass". During apartheid, all black people were required to carry passbooks when they were outside the township. If they didn't carry their Dompas they would get a fine, get arrested, or deported. The atmosphere in the museum is a mixture of abuse, sadness, defiance and triumph.    THE SHARPEVILLE MASSACRE  On the 21 March 1960, 50,000 people burnt their dompas' to protest the apartheid pass laws.  In Sharpeville near Johannesburg, 5-10,000 black South Africans gathered unarmed at the police station without their passbooks. They wanted to state their case by getting arrested.  But instead, police opened fire – shooting protesters in the back as they were running away. In two minutes, police fired more than 1300 bullets. They killed 69 people including eight women and ten children and wounded 180 in a hail of submachine-gun fire.  Since 1994, 21 March has been commemorated as Human Rights Day in South Africa, and Sharpeville was the site selected by President Nelson Mandela for the signing of the Constitution of South Africa on 10 December 1996.   THE KIDS OF LANGA After the visit to the Dompas Museum, we went for a walk in Langa to visit a home and experience a variety of lifestyles. On the way there we met a group of young boys in school uniforms.  The children in Langa are very open to visitors as children are in most places in the world. These wonderful kids that took an interest in my youngest daughter, Clara and her camera. And she took a lot of pictures of them making funny faces.  I highly recommend that you go on a township tour when you're in Cape Town. It's a different experience to visiting the spectacular beauty of Cape Town. Here the beauty is not in the mountains, the scenery or the plants. Here the beauty is in the people.  You will meet up with people who have struggled and overcome. As you know, South Africa has been extremely segregated for decades during apartheid. And still, they have some of the greatest separations between the rich and the poor anywhere in the world. By understanding the struggles of the past, seeing how people make the most of difficult situations, and talking with the people face-to-face, you will leave with a whole new feel of South Africa. And that's why we went, and I'm glad I also chose to share this experience with my daughters.    TOP 10 THINGS TO SEE Here is the complete list of things to see if you only have a week in Cape Town – like my daughters.  Robben Island. Bo-Kaap. Table Mountain.  Langa township tour. Drive on Devils Peak Drive.  Cape Point. Winery tour and see the stunning nature in the area. The African penguins on Boulders Beach in Simon's Town. Lion's Head. See the sunset from Signal Hill.   MORE TO SEE This was what made it into my list. But there is more, I could recommend. You should make time to simply hang out in the city bowl, go to the market on Green Market Square, enjoy the ocean at Sea Point and spend some time in V&A Waterfront.  Also, you should check what is playing at the Artscape Theatre Centre. They always have something interesting on. On my visits to Cape Town, I've seen everything from stand-up comedy, youth plays, big productions like ballet and musicals. I've seen both Swan Lake, Dirty Dancing, and West Side Story. The tickets are very inexpensive compared to western prices.    LINKS: Sponsor Hotels25.com  The Radio Vagabond is produced by RadioGuru.

Stap saam met Haidee Muller van Distrik Ses tot by die Bo-Kaap. Die kleurvolle Bo-Kaap was nog altyd 'n integrale deel van Suid-Afrika se geskiedenis, en vandag is dit steeds springlewendig. Haidee vertel van kos, kleur en kultuur van hierdie besonderse woonbuurt in die Kaap.

Inwoners van die Bo-Kaap in Kaapstad sê die woonbuurt kan 'n slagoffer word van die proses bekend as gentrifikasie. Dit is waar welgestelde mense huise in vervalle buurte koop en dan verbeter. Die gebied met sy helderkleurige huise word deur die Amerikaanse Wêreld Monumentefonds erken, weens die woonbuurt se kenmerkende spreektaal, argitektuur en Moslemkultuur. Berenice Moss berig dat die gemeenskapsorganisasie in die Bo-Kaap bekommerd is dat daar nie wetgewing is om die woonbuurt teen ontwikkelaars te beskerm nie.
