Lwandle Migrant Labour Museum

The Lwandle Migrant Labour Museum contains exhibits documenting the experiences of migrant workers and displays original artifacts from the hostel accommodation system.

Established in 2000, this museum preserves the memory of Lwandle's hostel accommodations, which housed male workers for the fruit and canning industry since 1958.

The museum presents exhibitions of local clothing designs, community photographs, and personal narratives that reflect the daily life experiences of Lwandle residents.

Located 40 kilometers from Cape Town, the museum operates Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 4:30 PM, with guided tours available through Hostel 33.

Visitors can explore an original restored hostel building that demonstrates the confined living spaces where four to six men shared basic accommodation during apartheid.
