Things were better then

{"ID":4758375,"post_title":"Things were better then","title":"Things were better then","post_content":"During the implementation of the Group Areas Act in South Africa in the early 1980s, coloured , black and Indian South Africans were forcibly removed to residential suburbs constructed for this purpose. This research was conducted in Belhar a suburb assigned to house relocated coloured people from the Cape Metropolitan and Peninsula areas of the Western Cape Province. Belhar for this reason was historically categorised as a coloured community during the implementation of the Group Areas Act. At the time of data collection the community of Belhar was known as an intensely gang-infested area. From preliminary research done by myself at a senior citizen centre in Belhar, the high incidence of violence was a recurring theme throughout discussions with older people. In fact when I posed the question Why do you come to the centre five days a week? to a group of older people they answered without hesitation It is unsafe for an older person to be alone during the day. Answers like these to many of the questions that I posed would almost always be followed with Things were better then.","image":"https:\/\/c5-static.dodax.com\/de-ch\/dp\/BSM199C5K8K-cc42c03d8d-175-175-8114348542665545793","url":"https:\/\/www.vergleiche.ch\/unterhaltung\/product\/things-were-better-then\/","min_price":0,"low_price_merchant_id":0,"deeplink":"","ean":9783639198621,"brand":"undefined"}
