About
Lwandle Migrant Labour Museum - is 40 kilometres (30 miles) outside the city of Cape Town, just off the N2, in the region known as the Helderberg Basin. Lwandle (the Xhosa word for ‘sea’) was once inhabited by hunter-gatherer groups who secured their food from the nearby seashore. During the colonial era, after many battles, the area became a cattle post and was subdivided into farms in the early eighteenth century. It is the first township-based museum and has garnered two awards in the last twelve years.
