Elsie's River

Elsie's River

Elsie's River is a suburb of Cape Town, South Africa.

In 1980 the suburb, at the time restricted to coloured people, became the scene of bloodshed after a demonstration in support of the school boycott became violent. Two 15-year-olds were shot dead by police. [ [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,952662,00.html The Cadets from Soweto] "Time Magazine" June 9, 1980]
