Township (South Africa)
In South Africa, the term township applies to many types of urban areas, however, under Apartheid, the term township commonly came to mean a single-race residential development which confined non-whites (Africans, Coloureds and Indians) who lived near or worked in white-only communities. Soweto and Alexandra are two of the most well-known of these. Townships for non-whites were also called locations.
