Home of Adam Asvat

HOME OF ADAM ASVAT Adam Asvat and his wife Khatija moved here from their home in 11th Street when forced removals were taking place. He had been driven from his birthplace in Sophiatown by the Group Areas Act, and refused to let that happen again. With sixty-six other residents, Mr Asvat founded the Save Pageview Association. They fought the evictions through the Courts, clinging to their homes while bulldozers demolished adjoin walls. Their courageous stand won through, and in 1989 the eviction order was dropped.
