Cape Flats
The term Cape Flats refers to a flat, sandy stretch of land which is located on the outskirts of the city of Cape Town.

I am from the Cape Flats where we hear gunshots every night.
Apartheid
Literally means “apartness” in Afrikaans, apartheid was the policy of racial segregation implemented by the South African National Party from 1948 to 1994, resulting in the oppression and labour exploitation of South Africa’s black majority, and their systematic exclusion from the country’s mainstream economic, educational and social life.
