A website and memorial mosaic benches have been unveiled at Jubilee Square in Simon’s Town in Cape Town to mark the forced removal of people under the apartheid era’s Group Areas Act.
Simon’s Town was declared a white area in 1967, although forced removals started taking place two years earlier.
Residents from Luyolo, Red Hill, Dido Valley and Glencairn were forcefully relocated to the Cape Flats.
