Mfuleni, Cape Town
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mfuleni is a relatively new township about 40 kilometres from Cape Town, South Africa. It is a predominantly "Black" (African) township, although there are also some "Coloured" members of the community.
Mfuleni is a suburb of Blue Downs area and is close to the sprawling township of Khayelitsha and also next to the new suburb of Malibu. Around 7,000 people live in this township. Most were moved there from the late 1990s following flooding and fires in different townships across the Western Cape, such as Phillipi, Nyanga and Khayelitsha. Hence, the mixed nature of the community here. Unemployment, HIV/AIDS and crime are some of the most pressing problems in this poor township.
