Township Tours in Nelson Mandela Bay - South Africa
Nelson Mandela Bays Townships are steeped in history, tradition and culture. From their modest beginnings they have flourished into hubs of activity and social life. The feeling of Ubuntu (meaning Humanity in Xhosa) surrounds their very existence.
Origins of Local Townships
Walmer Township Port Elizabeths first township formed part of the Welbedaght farm before it was laid out as a township by Mr McDonald, a government surveyor in 1851.
New Brighton The Township grew around the railway station built in 1877. It includes Red Location, White Location, McNamee, Boastville, Elundini and KwaFord. Red Location is a settlement of mostly tin shanties. The name originated from the oxide colourant used to protect the corrugated iron structures and roofs from rust, which have become a trademark in the area. After the war the Blacks from Bubbas location were housed here. White Location was the first economic housing scheme that was built there after the Urban Areas Act of 1923. Africans from Strangers Location, Russell Road and Coopers Kloof located here by 1904.
Kwa-Zakhele Kwa-Zakhele meaning place to built yourself in Xhosa, was established in 1956. Its families moved in from Korsten, a nearby mixed-race township.
KwaMagxaki KwaMagxaki was established in 1985 and is the second highest income suburb occupied mainly by a diversified group of professionals, business people and civil servants.
Kwa-Dwesi Kwa-Dwesi was started during the late 1980s, it is also occupied mainly by a mixture of professional business people and civil servants.
Zwide It was named after Fair Hansen Manchinger Zwide, the principal of the Bethelsdorp Coloured Primary School. Mr Zwide was a community leader and was elected onto many committees and forums.
Swartkops Formerly Zwartkops, a village on the farm Fishwater Flats.
Motherwell A recent Township formed in the late 1980s to accommodate the expanding population. It is the largest township in the Port Elizabeth region.
Informal Street Vendors
As the informal sector grows, roadside hawkers are ever increasing their supply of wares. These range from fresh fruit and vegetables to clothing garments, wooden and beaded wire African Crafts. The most popular vending areas extends along Govan Mbeki Avenue as well as in front of Builders Express on the corner of Main Road and Eighth Avenue, Walmer.
Shebeen Tours
Shebeens (informal drinking halls) were once illegal because they were not licensed for the sale of liquor, but have now become (legally) a lively cross between social clubs, a bar and a general meeting place. A Shebeen tour offers an entertaining 3 4 hours through the life and soul of the Townships. Shebeens come alive over weekends when hard work is replaced by beer and laughter. These venues are found on every street corner and add to the atmosphere of Township life. Amid hooting taxis and eager pedestrians, the Shebeen offers an informal venue where patrons can relax.
Political and Historical Township Tours
Visitors who wish to explore South Africas politics and history, may opt for a number of organised social, history and traditional township tours. These tours unveil how history evolved, encompassing diverse peoples and cultures and including a visit to the historical townships demonstrating the impact of the apartheid era on the city. In the townships one will see what limitations applied in the past and how people resisted and adapted. Township life first-hand may be a thought-provoking experience, but visitors are likely to experience a current spirit of optimism. For marketers and planners, this is where the future of South Africa will be shaped. Various accredited tour operators offer social history / township tours and shebeen tours.
The Red Location Museum of Struggle is a must-see on any visitors itinerary. The museum, which was opened in November 2006, commemorates South Africas turbulent apartheid history and long struggle for freedom. Several prestigious awards have been bestowed on the museum for its magnificent architecture. The museum is situated in the historical Red Location, the citys first black township, where the first urban Black families settled in the 1900s.
