Muizenberg Restored To It’s Old Glory
Muizenberg, on the coast of False Bay, was once a thriving holiday resort. Like any trend, it eventually fell out of fashion. Decay set in during the 1960s, and by the late twentieth century Muizenberg had become a crime-ridden suburb – the ugly duckling of Cape Town’s South Peninsula. Behind all the crime and grime, however, lurked wonderful Art Deco and Victorian buildings, and efforts were made by residents to remove the slumlords and revive the Village area and beachfront.
