...area is easier with the opening of the Nelson Mandela Bridge over a number of railway tracks. The mainstay of the district remains Market Theatre, which defied apartheid laws against mixed audiences long before democracy arrived. A police report in 1977 noted with distaste that "the White, Indian, Coloured and Bantu spectators watch the same performances and pay the same ticket price." These days, patrons pay anywhere from $5 to $17 to take in local plays like Bergville Stories (until April 26), which tells, a cappella, of an early battle against apartheid, and dance shows such as Tapsula (April...

In Lavapies, a Madrid melting pot of North African, Chinese and Indian immigrants, Zougam ran a locutorio, one of the popular shops where you can make cheap phone calls abroad. The owner of another locutorio says Zougam was an expert in "liberating" phones--altering handsets sold cheaply by service providers to take prepaid SIM, or internal identity, cards.
