From Tar to Touchscreens: A Cape Flats Memory Re-wired

by Kagiso Petersen
December 10, 2025

{“summary”: “Childhood in the Cape Flats during apartheid was a time of incredible resourcefulness and resilience. Kids turned old cars into submarines and empty lots into the Serengeti, using their imaginations to escape the harsh reality. Even though classrooms were crowded and danger was always near, they found strength in each other, sharing answers and comfort. Despite the tough times and lack of resources, their spirits were undefeated, always finding ways to play, learn, and hope. It was a childhood shaped by hardship but also by an amazing ability to adapt and thrive.”}
