Khayelitsha Township

“Get Out of My Neighborhood.”
Girl in the center seems to say with her attitude.
The township’s name is Xhosa for New Home.
It was established in 1983 to house the homeless Xhosa families migrating from the Eastern Cape.
IsiXhosa is the most spoken language at home.
It is reputed to be the largest and fastest growing township in Cape Town.
Khayelitsha is one of the top five largest slums in the world.
