The mere mention of the name of the port city of Cape Town, conjures up exciting and visually powerful imagery in many peoples’ minds.

While this may be true, Cape Town, its cultures, its languages and its history are also witness to the country’s troubled past of oppression and exploitation.

 Life in Cape Town today reflects the combined consequences of all our past decisions; both the good and the bad and all those in between. Any experience of our city therefore, will be one of many contrasts: a world-class tourist destination certainly, as well as a city which shares its many other faces with the visitor, including a set of particular social problems resulting directly from our history.
