of political activism during the struggle against apartheid. Today, residents enjoy better facilities and modern services. [According to the Krugersdorp Herald and residents the modern facilities consist of one mobile toilet for two households and six water taps.] One of the traditions which remain is the culture of children playing in the streets.

Archbishop Emeritus and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Desmond Mpilo Tutu lived in Munsieville from an early age. His father was headmaster of St Paul's Anglican Mission School where young Mpilo began his education. Tutu was later a schoolteacher at Munsieville School before he joined the priesthood. Tutu and his wife Leah married in a Roman Catholic Church in Munsieville. He recalls: "That church was razed to the ground along with many residential buildings because Munsieville was doomed to be demolished. It was an aberration; a black spot in what should have been a lily-white area. Munsieville was reprieved only by the intervention of Leon Wessels, the Nationalist MP for Krugersdorp, who later apologised handsomely for apartheid. He was to become Deputy Chair of the Constituent Assembly that gave us our wonderful Constitution." Tutu's childhood home can be visited, as can other 'exile' houses.
