December 1957 - Sophiatown Big-Shot Fight For Their

December 1957 - Sophiatown Big-Shot Fight For Their Homes - Fr. Paul Singletom, of the Anglican Church, told standholders more was needed. A new rent rise in Johannesburg's locations, bread-winners feeling feeling the belt nipping tighten around Meadowlands, they call Dr Verwoerd's baby and other township, the famous Rathebe court case: all these things are putting the searchlight back on that disputed piece of black land, Sophiatown. For the Sophiatown landlords it's back to the same business of, We want to keep our homes. For tenants, especially in Meadowlands, it's that uncomfortable business of paying rent.
