Jerald Danasekera Vedan documents the history, social evolution and community life of Shallcross, tracing its apartheid-era origins as a residential area for people classified Indian and displaced or restricted by the Group Areas Act, and recording the people, events, and institutions that shaped its identity as a diverse South African community. 

Attorney, former councillor, social commentator and community activist Jerald Danasekera Vedan has lived in Shallcross for half a century. He writes op-eds and columns for publications like The Post and IOL.
