Entry from: Cape Town, South Africa Entry Title: "Cape Town" Entry: "Finally......here it is. Although Cape Town lacks the sense of racial tension that is undeniably strong in Joburg, it is for all intense and purposes a very "white" city. Cape Town it's self is set along Long Street, the backpackers haven, the waterfront, Table Mountain, University of Cape Town and then heads out to various suburbs, beautiful national parks, hiking trails, gardens, beaches, etc.. Except for Marvel Bar on Long Street, a very cool, retro, old rap bar with pictures lining the walls of famous Jazz artists and old records, the only African South Africans I saw were the ones serving our food or drinks. You get a very distinct feeling that somehow there is a segregation, is it voluntary, is it coerced, I don't know but I will say among the touristy areas of Cape Town, I rarely saw a black face that was not serving. Now once you are outside of the center, you pass townships as well as distinctly wealthy black areas and all of the sudden there are Africans on the street everywhere....hmmm is there an imaginary line we shall not cross? After learning a bit about Cape Town's history, I could begin to piece together why this might be so....especially seeing as much of the battles of Apartheid actually were fought in Cape Town as it was the seat of the legislature. In the late forties, the National Party took control and took away the right of coloreds to vote, made it hard for them to be employed and refused to build any new black housing. Consequently, squatters were forced to build small shanty towns east of the city and wherever possible, however, the government would frequently come in, bulldoze the shacks and dump the inhabitants farther away from the city....In the early sixties laws were passed forcing blacks and coloreds to carry passbooks which showed if they had permission to be in that particular area or not. A few years later Nelson Mandela and other ANC leaders were arrested and imprisoned on Robin Island, just off the coast. The famous District Six area, what was a predominantly colored ghetto, until it was declared a white neighborhood and the inhabitants expelled, is close to Long Street and has since created a museum and various walking tours around the historic area. Now people like to think of Cape Town as one of the most open-minded cities in South Africa...I do think it's very laid back with the surfer beach atmosphere...but just as other parts of South Africa I find it a very bizarre segregated integrated area. Long Street is full of different cafes, restaurants, a great live music joint called Zulu café...funky stores, boutiques, huge music stores and markets. The street is alive all hours and the Middle Eastern stand blasting Arabic music and serving kebobs, pitas, and all kinds of delights fills the air with amazing aromas. After a five hour lay over in Joburg, due to a plane malfunction before we were to take off, we finally arrived in the late afternoon, exhausted and hungry...winding around the roads from the airport to Long Street beautiful views of the bay, the ocean, and the landscape unfolded before our eyes, set against the beautiful Table Top Mountain and Lions Head. We get settled into the Cat and Moose...and yes later discover the dog's name is in fact Moose, we venture out and immediately feel a much more cosmopolitan, lively vibe than Lusaka. Music wafts through the streets, students, and the young 20's/30's crowd is roaming the streets, browsing shops, filling cafes, having afternoon beers, tapas, conversating on a vast array of topics. We arrive at the Zulu Café, amazing food great music that comes up from its neighbor restaurant (owned by the same people) Mama Africa. We kept hearing Mama Africa, a restaurant with a long reservation list, and which looks like a scene from African interior decorating magazine, was great, but I must say the music was much better than the food and we usually found ourselves heading towards Zulu over the next week ..."
