This museum pays tribute to the thousands of migrant labourers who suffered in the apartheid years. The system required the labourers to leave their families behind in the rural ‘homelands’ to work in the cities in poor conditions. The museum is situated in an original hostel and arranges interesting township walks. The first and only museum in a Western Cape township, it has been named as the Museum of the Year for 2009 by the Western Cape Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport
