We\u2019ve tried to move on but thanks to the District Six Museum, we still have the opportunity to come into District Six again,\u201d she said, adding the family\u2019s application to move back was submitted late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Martin Cloete (61), another former resident, says his father owned a house in Hanover Street. The house was demolished in 1971. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cloete explains that he has since moved back after he started the restitution process in 1995. \u201cIt took us 28 years to get our place back. I got the keys last year and we now live in Ashley Street. I am glad I am back, it\u2019s our legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_d481e779\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/10833\/e1ef0bb0b13a4c52b0e64cfaa0fa16ad.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/c2840a5d26814658b50df15bfc03be14.jpg\" title=\"Juliana Scheepers (74) and Mavis van Turha (87) fondly remembers life in District Six.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Juliana Scheepers (74) and Mavis van Turha (87) fondly remembers life in District Six.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/10833\/2f6000d6c1df491b9691394ecc59f9fb.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/571ce85961dc48968a3ca4b2964b05c0.jpg\" title=\"Shariefa Davids is one of several former residents who attended the event.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Shariefa Davids is one of several former residents who attended the event.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/10833\/205d5059447b485a8bbb35a9bb3ae7bb.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8925b54d0e574961a8257a52dacf57c9.jpg\" title=\"Residents wrote messages and placed them on the memorial cairn. \"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Residents wrote messages and placed them on the memorial cairn. <\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Cloete also lamented what he describes as the shoddy workmanship of the houses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe place that they gave us has so many problems and it doesn\u2019t seem to get resolved.

This displacement and the horror we experienced should not have happened. Today is about our words, all our collective and collected trauma, and our will to survive.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nomvula Dlamini, deputy chair of the museum, said it is important that people never forget what happened. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThose forced removals have happened in District Six, Sophiatown and many other parts of South Africa. They should be a reminder to all of us that that kind of thing that dispossesses people, that destroys community life and destroys part of our culture should never happen again.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artist Ayesha Price created a site-specific art installation called \u2018we have lost one another\u2019 to commemorate the area and its residents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patel-Kaskar added that there would be several events throughout the year to commemorate the museum\u2019s 30th anniversary this year. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIt still makes me sad,
