A walk around Swellendam

After a leisurely lunch, the rain had stopped and the sun appeared, so we went for a walk through town. We admired the historic buildings and marvelled at the number of churches in such a small town!

Racial segregation established in the apartheid era still exists here. Almost all of the town’s residents are white. Workers arrive daily from nearby Barrydale, a non-white village, to serve in the shops, clean the houses, and tend the gardens.Weiterlesen
