Simon’s Town had a 7000-strong community of people of colour before apartheid forcibly removed most of them, mainly to the suburb of Ocean’s View, across on the Atlantic side of the peninsula. This small but interesting museum, with a lovely front garden, is dedicated to the evictees and based in Almay House (1858). It’s curated by Zainab Davidson, whose family was kicked out in 1975.
