Title: Gravel road with fence surrounding grass-trees and a hill
Description: A series of twenty photographs showing scenes of houses (new and old) and landscape of the Oxton and Zweledinga areas of resettlement under the forced removals policy, 1980. Most of the community settled here had voluntarily left Glen Grey and Herschel in 1976, to avoid incorporation into the Transkei homeland, only to be incorporated, at a later date, into Ciskei instead. These photographs were taken by Priscilla Hall.
