Description

Explore Motherwell, the third-largest township in South Africa, located in Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth) in the Eastern Cape Province. Established in the 1980s, it was developed as a relocation area during apartheid to accommodate residents displaced from other parts of the city. Today, Motherwell is home to a vibrant and diverse community, with an estimated population of over 140,000 people. The township serves as a major residential and economic hub in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, featuring schools, clinics, shopping centers, and small local businesses. Despite facing socio-economic challenges such as unemployment and limited infrastructure, Motherwell is rich in culture, resilience, and community spirit.
