Strandfontein Pavilion, Cape Town 2002
Strandfontein Pavilion first entered my life through an excursion with my nursery school as it was one of the few recreational spaces at the seaside that we as non-whites could visit. This is a memory I forgot that I had, a ‘normality’ so far from normal that shaped the way life was lived in apartheid South Africa. It is located on the edge of the Cape Flats and the Indian Ocean. Though apartheid as a law is a thing of the past, apartheid as physical geography, intentional whole scale economic deprivation ( official robbery) and profoundly influencing multigenerational belief systems about the self still endure. Accompanying a german photographer one day as a fixer I encountered the two woman sitting on the beach, who lived in the nearby community of Mitchells Plain, another creation of the apartheid rulers to separate coloured people from their superior white contemporaries. In most instances, the coloured people of the Western Cape carry the genetics of the first nation peoples of Southern Africa and so are ironically the natural inheritors of the legacy and more contentiously the land and its resources.
