After we explored Robbin Island, we ventured back into Cape Town and to the District 6 Museum. In short, District 6 is a former inner-city area in Cape Town where 60,000 residents were forced to leave during the 1970s due to Apartheid. You can read more here. But it’s so much more than that. The museum was amazing and so sad. There were many testimonials from residents who had grown up in District 6, photos, toys, other artifacts (from barber shops, etc), benches, signs, newspaper articles, and even some modern touches. It’s just one more eye opening place that I can’t fully describe in words. I hope these photos help.
