church

during the apartheid era, especially in the late 1970's and 1980's, many black and coloured south africans defied the group areas act to live in sea point. as a result sea point is now home to many ethnic and religious groups.

sea point ~ especially the area below high level road ~ is regarded by some as a dangerous area and prone to more criminal activity than other " white " suburbs such as rondebosch or constantia. conversely, many foreigners see it as a place of urban rejuvenation and there are many dutch, german, and british owned properties.
