KwaMuhle Museum

Housed in the former Native Affairs Department building from the apartheid era, the museum tells the history of Durban's Black laborers and the 'Durban System.'

Through photographs, documents and reconstructed scenes, the museum shows apartheid-era pass laws, worker hostels, urban segregation policies and the struggles of Durban's people. It is small but powerful. Admission is free, and a visit takes about an hour. Located in the city center, it can be combined with City Hall and the Victoria Street Market.
