Lwandle Migrant Labour Museum
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.
== History ==
The Lwandle Migrant Labour museum is a memorial to the system of migrant labour, single sex hostels and the control of black workers through the pass book which are all features of the Apartheid system of government. The museum reminds residents and visitors of the horrific living conditions that the migrant labour system imposed.
It was established on an initiative of two residents of the Helderberg region, Charmian Plummer and Bongani Mgijima. Initially the idea was to preserve one of the remaining hostels as the new, democratic government was turning the hostels of Lwandle into family type accommodation. This idea was later extended to incorporate an old community hall. On Workers Day (1 May) 2000 the museum was officially opened by poet and ex-Lwandle resident, Sandile Dikeni. On 25 February 2012 the Lwandle Migrant Labour Museum was proclaimed as a province –aided museum by the Government of the Western Cape Province.〔Noeleen Murray, 'Working with inconsistencies and discontinuities: Competing conceptions of heritage and urban design at the Lwandle Migrant Labour Museum', Architecture South Africa, March/April 2007, 30-33.〕
