About the museum
The heritage centre features large black and white photographic prints displaying the stark realities of evictions, rebellion, riots and suppression. The exhibits connect to the "Durban System" — administrative policies implemented by city officials — linking this centre thematically to the KwaMuhle Museum.
A new museum in progress
The current facility occupies a small site, but expansion is planned. During 2011 the Municipality acquired a donation of land from the University of KwaZulu-Natal for the building of a new museum. Construction began in 2012, with the Local History Museums collaborating with the Cato Manor Area Based Management and the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
