Hout Bay (Afrikaans: Houtbaai, from the Dutch for “Wood Bay”)
The main informal settlement in Hout Bay is Imizamo Yethu and it is situated right next to an affluent community. The 18 hectare area supports 20,000 people, living in cramped and squalid conditions with no plumbing, roads or any discernible infrastructure for sustainable living. This is in sharp contrast to the affluence of much of Hout Bay. As of 2007, political differences between the Democratic Alliance and African National Congress have hampered the building of houses for the residents of Imizamo Yethu.
The 18 hectare settlement houses approximately 33 600 people with little or no infrastructure for sustainable living.
All that matters to the local boys is their pitch and thier football.
