Transkeian 'citizens' in a Whites-only restaurant, Cape Town

10/02/1977

Transkeian citizens Mr Mbongeni Mvana and Mr Mlami Gomo enjoy a soft drink on the veranda of a Camps Bay White restaurant this week after showing their passports to the manager. 'I don't mind who comes here as long as they behave,' said the manager. [Transkei was granted 'independence' by South Africa in 1976, meaning those born in the Transkei, such as these two men, automatically became 'foreigners' in South Africa.]
