A roadside cache next to one of the South End streets that existed in 1965, prior to the forced removals in terms of the Group Areas Act.
South End was a cosmopolitan area of Port Elizabeth that was depopulated and flattened in 1965 in terms of the Group Areas Act that was in force at the time. Very few of the streets of the old area survived the redevelopment of the area. One small segment of the original Kinsley Kloof is still visible, even though most of it is now overgrown. There is a short street called Kinsley Kloof that is in use but little of it falls on the original path of the street in existence in 1965.
As can be seen from the picture the area was well kept at one stage but, like so many of our public areas, has now become an illegal dumping ground. There was a particularly pretty garden laid in remembrance of Stan Roberts but it has also fallen to ruin. I have been unable to find any information on him.
A family of Dassies (Rock Hyrax) have taken up residence in the area and are normally sunning themselves on the roadside. They are fairly tame but if you get too close then they will duck into the storm water drain.
The cache is a bison tube and should be a reasonably easy find.
