Description: "The book follows a series of dialogues hosted in 2019, by the District Six Museum, the Community Chest of the Western Cape and the One City Many Cultures Project. The topic of the discussion was the South Africa we want to live in, and the organisers made sure that many voices as possible were heard. In pulling together the report of the dialogues, we realised that we could not talk about the South Africa we want to live in while only reflecting the views of the people who live in the Western Cape. This is when we reached out to people across the country to solicit their views. In the end, we have produced a book, in all in its rawness, which seek to give a voice to many people who might not always have a voice, combined with some whose voices might have been heard in the past.."--
