Streets of Cape Town; Gentrification in Bo-Kaap, Being a Refugee & Rastafarin ways of caring for the pigeons of the city.

During this interview we speak with Lucy, a refugee from Kenya
who makes hand made sandals in Green Market Square, a place where
slaves were traded in the 1600s.


We also meetup with my good friend, Kipandi, a Rastafarian
Olympic long distance runner from Kenya, who now dedicates his
life to caring for the pigeons of the city.


We will stand on the corner of the Bo-Kaap, an area of Cape Town
formerly known as the Malay Quarter. It is a former township,
situated above the city centre and is a historical centre of Cape
Malay culture in Cape Town. Bo-Kaap is known for its brightly
coloured homes and cobbled stoned streets. The area is
traditionally a multicultural neighborhood which currently faces
gentrification from the city. We will stand on the corner with a
group of Muslim woman who are protesting their continued struggle
with Apartheid.
