The District Six Working Committee says while they welcome the declaration of eight sites in District Six to national heritage status, claimants just want to return to their beloved community. | ThePeoplesPost
The South African Heritage Resources Agency has recently declared eight District Six sites national heritage sites.
Zahrah Nordien, chair of the District Six working committee, says: “Claimants are not bothered about heritage sites, they just want to come home. The sooner government can complete the restitution process the better for the claimants. Their wait has been too long and people are dying.”“All they tell us is that we have to wait for this phase and that phase. We are getting tired. I have attended meetings all over the province.
“District Six constitutes a previously neglected memory of the history of South Africa that is to be used as part of the reconstruction and healing of the nation, a memory closely guarded and kept alive by the former residents and celebrated and passed on through various means, such as the arts, schools and religious centres that remained.”
Vidamemoria Heritage Consultants is a heritage resources management firm focusing on the protection, preservation and promotion of heritage resources. Eddie Andrews, Deputy Mayor and Mayco member for spatial planning and environment, says: “Over the past two years, I have attended many workshops and engagements that the City hosted with the District Six community. I spoke to those who have recently moved back, and others who will return in the coming months and years.
