From the Cape: South Africa’s Bo-Kaap

On the outskirts of Cape Town’s city centre in South Africa is a place with a special history – Bo-Kaap. And Daiyaane Pietersen, heritage researcher and tour guide, wants to find out more about his ancestry in this area. Descended from slaves, who were brought from around the globe to sustain the early colonial Cape settlements of the 1600s and 1700s, Bo-Kaap today is a richly diverse community. Daiyaane takes us on a historical and archival tour of Bo-Kaap, making connections of love, heritage, religion, language, food and politics here – the connections which make us all human.
