Nothings changed
I think this poem “ nothings changed” is about certain individuals who are confused and angry because they are unsure of what culture they are from. I think the poem feels injustice that district 6 was cleared to make room for the whites. District six is the name of an urban district in the slopes of table mountain, which holds particular significance for south Africans, and especially for cape towns ”coloured” population. By the 1950’s District six was becoming more crowded, and was strictly committed to a policy called apartheid or racial segregation. In 1966 Cape town then became an area for whites only, and blacks where only allowed in certain places, they where never allowed in the same places a the white population. People obviously thought this was not fair and many protests against this law were put forward, but unfortunately ignored. When this was happening the poet was a young boy, he felt intense anger for this and rage at this cruel injustice.
