They visited several prominent locations in Bo-Kaap, including the Auwal Masjid, the Tana Baru Cemetery and the Bo-Kaap Museum (where two guest speakers addressed the students – one of which was Anees Teladia).
Many pressing sociopolitical and socioeconomic issues were mentioned as the learners engaged in discourse around history, heritage, politics and economics.
