Tatamkhulu Afrika
- Biographical Notes
2
Nothings Changed
- This is an autobiographical poem. Tatamkhulu
Afrika lived in Cape Town's District 6, which was
then a thriving mixed-race inner-city community.
People of all colours and beliefs lived in
harmony there.. - In the 1960s, as part of its policy of apartheid
the government declared District 6 a 'whites
only' area, and began to evacuate the population.
Over a period of years the entire area was razed
to the ground. Most of it has never been built
on- why was it destroyed? - Apartheid a system of racial segregations and
separation practiced in South Africa

Tatamkhulu Afrika's life
- Tatamkhulu Afrika was brought up in Cape Town,
South Africa, as a white South African, although
he is of mixed race. What do you think his view
of apartheid will be? - In 1984 the poet joined the ANC (the African
National Congress - the organisation leading the
struggle against apartheid). Arrested in 1987,
for 'terrorism', he was banned from writing or
speaking in public for five years. This was the
point at which he adopted the name he now uses,
'Tatamkhulu Afrika' which had previously been his
ANC code name. This enabled him to carry on
writing despite the ban. Why ban someone from
writing? How does this add to the importance of
the poem?
Nelson Mandela President of South Africa
Both arrested for wanting to get rid of apartheid
