South End Museum

A visit to the South End Museum etches deep into the minds and hearts of the guest. This museum immerses one into the lives, cultures, challenges, tragedies and victories of those that experienced Apartheid at its most intense. The experience starts on entry into South End, where the Wild Fig Tree, Hindu Temple and Muslim mosques stand out amidst the everyday hustle and bustle of the Nelson Mandela Metropole. The building that houses the museum was, itself, a prominent and important structure. Situated right on the shore, this was a key position since fishing was such an integral part of the South End community.
