The term Cape Flats refers to well, a flat, sandy stretch of land which is located on the outskirts of the city of Cape Town. It has been accurately described as the "dumping ground of apartheid" and it is here that people of colour were relocated to, in terms of the infamous Group Areas Act. In some ways, the Cape Flats can be regarded as a smaller product of the previous government's bantustan policy, and can also be compared with Soweto, on the outskirts of Johannesburg. It was an artificial creation, based on the sick notion that people of colour (non-whites in "old South Africa" language) should not be allowed to live in the more upmarket areas i.e. close to town and their places of work. Thus, people from widely divergent backgrounds and experiences, were uprooted from their communities and thrown together in the wasteland that has become known as the Cape Flats.
