May 1959 - Why beach Apartheid! - There are no apartheid

May 1959 - Why beach Apartheid! - There are no apartheid notices, but only whites use swings. Some want practice to become law. Kalk Bay has for long been a favourite bathing spot for non-whites. No one questioned it. But will we be able to go on swimming there? The people of the Cape have always got along happily without apartheid on their beaches. Now noseybodies from the north, mad with separate entrances and For Whites Only notices, have been agitating to clear non-whites from certain spot. But why break a tradition which been accepted by all for 300 years? (Photograph by Kenneth Mackenzie @ BAHA)
