As outlined by South African History Online (SAHO) in their research on forced removals in South Africa (sahistory.org.za), the Natives (Urban Areas) Act of 1923, the Group Areas Act of 1950, and the forced removals that destroyed communities like District Six, Sophiatown and Windermere were all expressions of the same logic: the deliberate relocation of Black and Coloured people away from land that the state or the market wanted for other purposes. SAHO notes that forced removals did not always involve physical force but often relied on coercion, economic pressure and intimidation against which evictees had no position to challenge. More than 60,000 residents of District Six alone were relocated to the barren Cape Flats between the 1960s and 1980s. Khayelitsha was established in 1985 as a relocation point for Black residents deemed “illegal” in the Cape Peninsula. According to SAHO’s history of Khayelitsha (sahistory.org.za), the settlement began as a tented town on empty ground between the N2 highway and False Bay, built under the principle of racial segregation. Due to the immense influx of people, it grew into the second largest Black township in South Africa after Soweto. The pattern has repeated across generations and across the geography of the Western Cape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fproj\u002Fblikkiesdorp-cape-town-n2-gateway\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0007\u002F\">\u003Cdiv class=\"mauer-stills-img-box-wrapper\">\u003Cdiv class=\"mauer-stills-img-box\" style=\"padding-top: 66.69921875%;  width: 100%;\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-aspect-ratio=\"1.4992503748\" data-thumbnail-aspect-ratio=\"1.4992679355783\" data-id=\"845\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F06\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0007-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The N2 Gateway Project: Blikkiesdorp, Delft, Cape Town\" class=\"wp-image-845\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F06\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0007-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F06\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0007-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F06\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0007-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F06\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0007-780x520.jpg 780w, https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F06\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0007-892x595.jpg 892w, https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F06\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0007-624x416.jpg 624w, https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F06\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0007-586x391.jpg 586w, https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F06\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0007-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F06\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0007-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F06\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0007.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Blikkiesdorp Cape Town sits directly in this lineage. The settlement was established in 2007 as part of the N2 Gateway housing project, which was launched in 2005 and marketed as the largest government housing initiative ever undertaken in South Africa. The project was meant to deliver 22,000 rental and ownership units along the N2 highway corridor. In practice, it became a mechanism for moving informal settlement residents out of sight. Housing activists and residents have argued that the creation of Blikkiesdorp Cape Town was part of a broader effort to clear visible informal settlements ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, removing people from areas near Cape Town International Airport and the N2 corridor where international visitors would pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Scale of the Housing Crisis at Blikkiesdorp Cape Town\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>To make way for Phase 1 of the N2 Gateway project, approximately 1,000 residents of the Joe Slovo informal settlement were moved to Temporary Relocation Areas in Delft, including Blikkiesdorp Cape Town. After a devastating fire destroyed 3,000 shacks and displaced 12,000 people in Joe Slovo in January 2005, residents were promised priority in the allocation of new housing. That promise was not kept. Of the original Phase 1 flats, only 705 were built. Rents were set at levels that most Joe Slovo residents could not afford. Residents who had moved to Delft willingly after the fire reported losing their jobs because they could not afford transport back into Cape Town, and there is no railway line in Delft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The broader numbers tell the same story. At the time of these photographs, an estimated 430,000 families were on the housing waiting list in the Western Cape. The provincial budget could deliver roughly 9,000 houses per year. The backlog was growing, not shrinking. Blikkiesdorp Cape Town had an estimated 10,000 residents and was still expanding, with new tin structures being erected to accommodate families displaced from across the city. The word “temporary” in Temporary Relocation Area became a bitter joke. Many residents had been there for three years or more, with no timeline for permanent housing. The UN-affiliated Centre on Housing Rights and Evictions published a report in 2009 criticising the N2 Gateway project for housing rights violations and a fundamental lack of consultation with the communities affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fproj\u002Fblikkiesdorp-cape-town-n2-gateway\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0004\u002F\">\u003Cdiv class=\"mauer-stills-img-box-wrapper\">\u003Cdiv class=\"mauer-stills-img-box\" style=\"padding-top: 66.69921875%;

Street committees were established to manage safety, mediate disputes and organise around shared concerns. Religious communities created spaces for worship and gathering. Neighbours looked out for each other’s children. When someone was ill, people checked in. When there was a funeral, the community showed up. The social fabric in Blikkiesdorp Cape Town was not handed down from an NGO or a government department. It was woven by the people living there, out of necessity, out of care, and out of a refusal to let the conditions they had been placed in define the limits of their humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The people I spent time with in Blikkiesdorp Cape Town included community health workers, volunteers and state-employed social workers who operated within the settlement, often with minimal resources. They ran feeding programmes, checked on the elderly, tracked children who had dropped out of school, and provided basic healthcare advice in an area where the nearest clinic was overcrowded and understaffed. Many of these workers were residents of Blikkiesdorp Cape Town themselves, people who had been displaced just like everyone else but who chose to spend their days working to improve conditions for their neighbours. This is not romantic. It is practical. It is what people do when there is no alternative and giving up is not an option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fproj\u002Fblikkiesdorp-cape-town-n2-gateway\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0006\u002F\">\u003Cdiv class=\"mauer-stills-img-box-wrapper\">\u003Cdiv class=\"mauer-stills-img-box\" style=\"padding-top: 66.69921875%;  width: 100%;\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-aspect-ratio=\"1.4992503748\" data-thumbnail-aspect-ratio=\"1.4992679355783\" data-id=\"844\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F06\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0006-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The N2 Gateway Project: Blikkiesdorp, Delft, Cape Town\" class=\"wp-image-844\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F06\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0006-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F06\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0006-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F06\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0006-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F06\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0006-780x520.jpg 780w, https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F06\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0006-892x595.jpg 892w, https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F06\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0006-624x416.jpg 624w, https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F06\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0006-586x391.jpg 586w, https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F06\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0006-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F06\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0006-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F06\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0006.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blikkiesdorp Cape Town as an Ongoing Crisis\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The housing crisis that created Blikkiesdorp Cape Town has not been resolved. As of 2026, Cape Town’s housing backlog continues to grow. Evictions and displacement remain a constant feature of urban life for poor and working-class communities. Organisations such as Ndifuna Ukwazi continue to challenge unlawful evictions and advocate for well-located, affordable housing with security of tenure. Informal settlement residents across the city, from Khayelitsha to Woodstock to Observatory, continue to face the threat of removal under conditions that echo the forced removals of the apartheid era, even if the legal framework is different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Blikkiesdorp Cape Town sits alongside the N2 highway, visible from the road that connects the airport to the city centre. For most visitors it is a blur of tin and concrete seen from a car window at speed. For the people who live there, it is home. These photographs document both the structural reality of Blikkiesdorp Cape Town and the people within it: the families, the businesses, the healthcare workers, the children playing, and the acts of mutual care that persist inside a system designed to warehouse people rather than house them. The crisis is ongoing. So is the community.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fphoto.madsnorgaard.net\u002Fproj\u002Fblikkiesdorp-cape-town-n2-gateway\u002Fblikkiesdorp-blue-down-project-0003\u002F\">\u003Cdiv class=\"mauer-stills-img-box-wrapper\">\u003Cdiv class=\"mauer-stills-img-box\" style=\"padding-top: 66.69921875%;
