Townships of Cape Town


View of Gugulethu, one of the townships in the suburbs of Cape Town, South Africa. The term township usually refers to the (often underdeveloped) urban living areas that, under Apartheid, were reserved for non-whites (principally black Africans and Coloureds, but also working-class Indians). Townships were usually built on the periphery of towns and cities.
