News24 | PODCAST | The Lead: 78-year-old District Six resident beats 2023 eviction order

She was forcibly removed from her home in District Six in the late 60s. And she almost lost her house again in the same historic suburb in 2023. But today, 78-year-old Noor-Banu Allie is celebrating a triumphant win in the Western Cape High Court.

Every now and then, a modern-day David and Goliath story comes along that warms our hearts.

Today, this story is about 78-year-old Noor-Banu Allie, a long-time District Six resident who was forcibly removed from the area in the late 1960s.

She very nearly suffered the same fate recently when her landlord dug their heels in, but a Western Cape High Court ruling has now allowed her to keep renting her humble District Six home.

More with this incredible story is journalist Marvin Charles, our guest on The Lead. Later, in our trending topic, he’s held three top Cabinet posts; now, Malusi Gigaba finds himself in a court dock charged with corruption.

And finally, epic aviator Amy Johnson broke her solo flying record from England to Cape Town with On This Day in SA History.
