Research the vibrant culture of Sophiatown during the 1950’s:

The population and atmosphere of Sophiatown was overcrowded. The Black nations who were owners of properties were poor, so they had to get paying tenants, to pay off their mortgages. Huts, rooms and shacks were created for dwelling of the tenants. Yards consisted of only one tap/ toilet meant to share amongst many people.

The following activities were what made the environment productive:

·         Cooking

·         Fighting

·         Learning

·         Partying

·         Singing

·         Talking

·         Washing

This shaped the vibrant, lively and close community. Although all of this described the positive sides of the town, there was still poverty, suffering and violence. These two sides were juxtapositioned creating a unique vision of Sophiatown. Sophiatown being a location of Southern Africa was the place for black people to have ownership of land. Sophiatown grew into a colourful town with rich history. Houses were built according to the amount of money people had available, their own tastes, cultural background and interests. Some houses were made of brick, and had no less than 4 rooms whereas others had shacks built of corrugated iron and scrap sheet metal. Sophiatown was a place for the community as all of them had struggled to survive, as an act of teamwork. It was full of culture that came from the shebeens, mbanganga music, and beer-brewing. These attributes attracted the entertainment side of Sophiatown and is remembered through the town’s history.


During the 1950’s, one of the most significant events were the forced removals which were captured by Drum magazine.

Sophiatown entertainment consisted of music (American music played a huge influence on the African Jazz musicians) of shebeens and dance parties) and movies (based on the behaviour, language and dress patterns that developed from the tsotsi’s of Sophiatown.
