dc.description.abstractIn this story I will look at the Group Areas Act and how it effected the life of people with particular reference to the Protea Village Community in Cape Town. Protea Village was a coloured spot situated on the slopes of Table Mountain beneath Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens with Rhodes Drive as the boundry. Protea Village started in 1885 when Cecil John Rhodes built a road from Groote Schuur to Hout Bay. It was important for him to have his coloured labourers close to the workplace, thus he rented the Stegman Cottages in Kirstenbosh as home for their families.
