The Journey of Remembrance is a dedication to the experience of ordinary Capetonians who were subjected to and overcame Apartheid. It's a movement through Cape Town from District Six to Crossroads acknowledging the people coerced onto the Cape Flats through Apartheid laws and people's actions. Laws of forced removals, segregation and urban control shaped Cape Town's social geography, politics, economy, history and its post Apartheid legacy.

The Cape Flats and her townships where the majority of Cape Town's people live is the result of Apartheid South Africa's war on the people who it legally through the Populations Registration Act defined as not being "white" and as a result less than human.

On these humble and ordinary streets visit one of the frontlines of the resistance against the Apartheid. The evidence of the spirit that enabled our people to bear the brunt of the Apartheid system is to be found on the Cape Flats. For South Africans the peace has come dearly. Together pause and reflect at sites etched into the memory of the people who live there.

Today several monuments speak of the lives of so many young people who were killed resisting Apartheid. The Gugulethu Seven Memorial is one of the first monuments to be erected on the Cape Flats to remember the ongoing efforts for peace and human dignity on the Cape Flat. In celebrating our liberation struggle we veterans and community activists will enable locals and visitors to enter into this history first hand. This is a journey where history comes alive and the storytelling is in dialogue with today.

This is a political excursion - a journey to commemorate the role young people played in the resistance against Apartheid. The message to South Africa and the world should be clear - what happened in South Africa shall not happen again.
