Manage episode 318697785 series 2825635
Tributes continue to pour in for the oldest District Six claimant, Sharifa Khan who died yesterday at the age of 100. Forced to move from District Six back in 1966 as the apartheid government declared the area a whites-only area, Khan was forcibly moved from her home together with 74-thousand other residents. Aunty Khan as she was affectionately known, once expressed the pain and dehumanization of watching her home being bulldozed in front of her very own eyes. She died without moving back into her apartment despite receiving her keys back in April last year. For more on her life story and anguish, here is her granddaughter, Rifdah Da Costa
