Eventually the residents were all evicted and the buildings were bulldozed. The area remains uninhabited. The museum provides information about the area, the eviction, the Group Areas Act, and the people who used to live there. The director of the museum is a former resident. There is a small bookstore with an excellent selection of books on South Africa's history, District Six and apartheid. -33.92770, 18.42370 · [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=-33.9277&mlon=18.4237#map=17/-33.9277/18.4237) · [Wikivoyage note](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Cape_Town) · [place page](/place/plc_MBW0TPWSG882AXAQ243X4YDSZF) Audio: not available — OpenVibe.AI has no speech-synthesis API today. 2. ## Castle of Good Hope Popularly called 'The Castle' by locals, it is the oldest surviving building in South Africa, having been built from 1666 to 1679.
