Sightseeing

The majestic St. George’s Cathedral located on Wale Street, dates back to 1834. The beautiful designed church and its community have left a large footprint in South African History, most significantly by playing a role in the anti-Apartheid movement in the country. It was here that Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, after he led a mass demonstration of 300 000 people to the Grand Parade in 1989, spoke of the rainbow people to describe South Africa’s rich racial and cultural diversity. The cathedral is said to have been modelled on St. Pancras Church in London, and people of all faiths are welcome to visit the cathedral to marvel at the intricate design features.

Completed in 1679, the Iziko Slave Lodge is one of the oldest buildings in Cape Town. It was constructed originally to house the slaves of the Dutch East India Company but was substantially modified when it was converted to Government offices in 1811. The many uses of the building over three centuries – Slave Lodge, Government Offices Building, Old Supreme Court, and SA Cultural History Museum – attest to its long and complex history.

District 6 Museum was named the Sixth Municipal District of Cape Town in 1867. Originally established as a mixed community of freed slaves, merchants, labourers, and immigrants, District Six was a vibrat centre with close links to the city and the port. In 1966, some 60 000 peoples were forcibly removed to barren outlying areas aptly known as the Cape Flats, and their houses in District 6 were flattened by bulldozers. The District 6 Museum, established in December 1994, works with the memories of these experiences and with the history of forced removals.

Bo Kaap Museum is situated in one of the oldest urban residential areas in Cape Town. The earliest development of the Bo-Kaap area, which became known as Waalendorp, was undertaken by Jan de Waal in the 1760’s. The house that today incorporates the museum building is the only one built by him that retains its original form. It dates to 1768. The first mosque at the Cape, the Auwal Mosque, was built in the neighbourhood in 1804 and is still in use, although much altered over years. By the beginning of the twentieth century roughly half the population in the area was Muslim. The history of the Bo-Kaap reflects the political processes in South Africa under the Apartheid years.
