Description

The stories of Naz Gool Ebrahim and District Six are intimately linked; in fact it is hard to imagine the one without the other. Naz combined her radical political activism with her roles as devoted wife and mother to six children. Up until the end of her life in 2005, she worked tirelessly to oppose the evil of racial segregation. To her opponents, she was an indomitable adversary, but to her friends she was 'Naz - Raz-a-ma-tazz', a great lady who certainly knew how to tell a story and put on a good show. This book is in three parts: Section One deals with the period 1652 - 1947 and gives a history of the formation of the Cape Colony, the origins of District Six and the emergence of Cissie Gool as a strong political figure. Section Two covers the timeframe 1948 - 1963 and looks in more depth at apartheid government policy, the Group Areas Act and the death of Cissie Gool. Section Three begins February 11, 1966 when District Six was declared a 'White Area' and tells the story of Naz's struggle to get the international community to pay attention to the plight of all those evicted from their homes due to ethnic cleansing. When Naz was facing eviction from District Six, her home became a focal meeting point for the community. In an effort to make one last stand and let their voices be heard, Naz started writing slogans all over the walls of her house and soon the rest of the community joined in, so literally, 'the TRUTH is on the WALLS'.
