Lookout Hill Khayelitsha

This guide to Lookout Hill in Khayelitsha starts with a question Piet Koornhof put to parliament in 1983: where do you put people a city has decided not to want. It follows the answer laid out below the hill, a Xhosa name meaning new home, and the people trucked here against their will from the Crossroads squatter camp, some ruled legal and some sent back to the Eastern Cape by a stamp in a passbook. You'll hear how a lonely dune became a housing scheme dressed up as a solution, and what stands on it now, a hundred and sixty-four steps above the rooftops. The view runs to False Bay, Table Bay and the Hottentots Holland mountains.
