Ocean View

Most of the residents of Ocean View Kommetjie are there because of the Dispersion of the Group Areas Act of 1968.The Town was created to accommodate some of the `Dispersed People` from around the Cape Peninsula.People from as far as Camps Bay and Sea Point were relocated to Ocean View and into this cosmopolitan mixed bredie ,former residents of District Six were also added.Uncle Wallace Poole and his wife Margaret had a beautiful cottage on the Mountain overlooking Camps Bay and one fateful day in 1979 a government employee issued him with the dreaded Notice of Eviction that declared him persona non gratia in his own home... I can vividly remember their quaint home.
They are both deceased now and their children still reside in Ocean View.
