Auteur :
PARNELL, S.

Description :
The 1918 influenza epidemic highlighted the acute sanitary crisis in the Malay Location, a slum abutting white working class suburbs, and underlined the imperative of providing adequate housing for the expanding African workforce of Johannesburg. The Council called for improved finances to construct segregated locations. Africans were evicted from areas of the white city proclaimed under the Act, and finally from the racially integrated Malay Location.
