On the slopes of Table Mountain, Cape Town, District Six was a jumble of cobbled alleyways - home to Asians, Africans, whites and people of mixed race. As this co-existence challenged the strict separation of apartheid, from 1968 onwards, 60,000 residents were forcibly evicted and the area bulldozed.
