INTERESTING, I WAS A PUPIL AT ZONNEBLOEM BOYS PRACTISING SCHOOL FROM 1972 TO 1978.BACK THEN I RECALL THE SCHOOL WAS ALREADY 75 YEARS OLD.SOMEHOW THE ATMOSPHERE WAS ONE OF BEING PART OF SOMETHING VERY ESTABLISHED AND OLD, OR MAYBE THATS HOW I’M FEELING NOW!

Surprised to see no reference to the District Six Museum. Then again, may just be a matter of a blindspot in the larger hegemonic narrative of Cape Town…

Good writing and research but it seems awfully Eurocentric – as if the ‘history’ of this landscape only begins with European settlement. As such fits in neatly with the loss of and white-washing of Woodstock’s present History – as if Apartheid never happened.

Very good! Was Liliebloem not also a farm house? I remember as a kid that was an orphanage since moved to Athlone when it had to make way for Eastern Boulevard and the Holiday Inn. Seem to remember something like that…
