South End was a vibrant, diverse and thriving mixed community before implementation of the 1950 Group Areas Act under the apartheid regime. Forced removals implemented under the act, removed Coloured residents of South End to areas such as Gelvandale, Korsten, and Chetty. The Chinese people were moved to Kabega Park, Indians to Malabar and black people to townships such as New Brighton (https://www.southendmuseum.co.za/).

Milde McWilliams Memorial Lecture 2019
The competition involves the top M.Arch students from each of the Architectural Learning Sites in South Africa who present their treatise design work, in competition, at a national event in Johannesburg. The competition has been run annually for over 30 years and is the premier competition event in the architectural academic calendar; with only one student named as the “COROBRIK STUDENT OF THE YEAR", each year. Competitions like this are won by individuals, and congratulations to Riaan for his exceptional commitment and hard work! As a young student though, his path has also been integrally shaped and supported by many people; among them, us, as lecturers and support staff. A hearty thank you and congratulations therefore, to all staff, in both Departments, of the School of Architecture.
