Before the arrival of supermarkets every neighbourhood in town had its grocery shops like this one in District six.

Today marks 50 years to the day that District Six was declared a "whites only" area. The barren land that now lies outside the city serves as a painful reminder of South Africa's brutal past while old photos give only a glimpse of what life was like in one of Cape Town's most famous neighbourhoods.

Taken in the region of St Johns Rd.
