  • Historical Evolution of Durban's Public Transport System and Challenges For
    Historical evolution of Durban’s public transport system Historical evolution of Durban’s public transport system and challenges for the post-apartheid metropolitan government Sultan Khan School of Social Sciences University of KwaZulu-Natal [email protected] Abstract The history of public transport in Durban is characterised by a diverse set of socio-political forces that have shaped and styled its present form. Characterised by horse and cart driven coach modes of transport in the early colonial period, Durban’s transport systems’ transition to motorised forms has been founded on racial exclusionary measures that sought to sustain white monopoly over the economic sector at the expense of under-development of the vast majority of disenfranchised Blacks in the city. In its transport history different modes of conveyance were used and it rapidly adapted to motorised transport which placed Durban in the forefront of economic prosperity. To Durban’s credit its transport sector boasts to have made a transition from exotically human drawn rickshas, to an animal drawn tram which was later superseded by electric driven trams. Durban was the first province to have introduced the railway mode of transport which served as a foundation for its economic growth. Notwithstanding these achievements, both during colonialism and apartheid the transport sector excluded the majority of the Black populace in the city and even when it did include them strict racial separation was maintained. Under apartheid transport engineering was heightened to keep racial groups apart and Durban was the first city to respond to the notorious Group Areas Act which created racial enclaves in the form of townships for the different race groups.

  • New Germany Central
    New Germany Property Value Decreases Integration Newbury road where 25 flats /white house were build Berkshire road signaling the Increases beginning of ‘Buffer Strip’ ‘The World’ Integration 1 Regarding the perimeters of New Germany, respondents mentioned that Berkshire road separates New Germany and Claremont (Township). Berkshire, Habborth and Rose roads, which appear outside of the community boundaries in the map above are also considered as part of New Germany by residents. The map does not cover the industrial area which includes New Germany Primary School. When asked about the map, one respondent stated that “boundaries are changed over time”. The information gathered from all interviews show that people have their own impressions of what New Germany is and where its boundaries lie. In general, people define a place as part of New Germany if it utilizes most of the services offered in New Germany. HISTORY New Germany was developed by German settlers. According to some respondents, New Germany was started by Reverend Posselt when he launched a Lutheran Church missionary in the area in 1848. Nevertheless, other sources suggest that New Germany was founded by Jonas Bergtheil around the same time. The settlers were mostly impoverished Germans who just arrived looking for jobs since conditions were difficult in Germany. These settlers bought the land to plant cotton but later used it for vegetables as it was not suitable for cotton. New Germany was later bought for use as a golf course estate. As time progressed, houses were developed on that land and the area then became an entry point into the housing market for many white people.
