Place in Western Cape, South Africa
Ocean View, Cape Town, was established between 1960 and 1970, as a township for coloured people who had been forcibly removed from the neighbouring so called "white areas", such as Simon's Town, Noordhoek, Fish Hoek, and Glencairn, by the apartheid government under the Group Areas Act of 1950. Originally called "Slangkop", the area was later renamed Ocean View by the unwilling residents who recalled their seized seaside residences.
