One of the best spots to have a bird's eye view of Port Elizabeth's townships are the view point at the top of the suburb of Kwamagxaki. Kwamagxaki first developed as a middle class black suburb and most of the people who lived there during the apartheid years were civil servants like nurses, policemen and municipal employees. The lookout spot was used by the apartheid police to keep an eye over the townships to identify areas of unrest.
A typical South African scene! These "townships" have a certain picturesque-ness about them.
