ABOUT LANGA TOWNSHIP Langa is a township in Cape Town, South Africa. The township was initially built in phases before being formally opened in 1927. It was developed as a result of South Africa’s 1923 Urban Areas Act (more commonly known as the “pass laws”), which was designed to force Africans to move from their homes into segregated locations. Langa is one of the many areas in South Africa that were designated for Black Africans before the apartheid era. It is the oldest of such suburbs in Cape Town and was the location of much resistance to apartheid. Langa is bordered by the M17 (Jan Smuts Drive) to the west, the N2 to the south, and the M7 to the east, and is served by Langa Railway Station. Although Langa literally means “sun” in Xhosa, the name of the township is derived from the name of Langalibalele – a chief and renowned rainmaker who in 1873 was imprisoned on Robben Island for rebelling against the Natal government. On 30 March 1960 Langa was the starting point for a march of between 30,000 and 50,000 protesters to Caledon Square police station in Cape Town led by Philip Kgosana and the Pan Africanist Congress to protest the apartheid-era pass laws.
