Architecture
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/). The forced removal of community members at that time decimated the social structure of South End and destroyed a way of life. The South End Museum importantly acknowledges and preserves the histories, memories and legacies of the people of this community and their families.
