District 6 resident, Shakirah Dramat on mission to reclaim their space
--:--
This morning we are going to have an interesting discussion on the question of authenticity in Bo Kaap tourism experience. Now this is something we have tried to set up for while, after we saw a video by a Bo-Kaap resident, Shakira Dramat that has since gone viral.
In this video, which is quite explicit at times, she speaks about the daily challenges of residents in the area, as its flooded by tourists. Another important issue is that gentrification and the increase of property prices in the area means that residents including the younger generation like herself might never be able to afford a home in community she grew up in.
