Additional Details

Newcastle is the third-largest city in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It is an industrial city with a huge native work force. This sign once stood, mounted to a wooden frame on Newcastle's beach. Segregation or "apartheid" is no longer the law of the land in South Africa. However a sort of segregation still exists brought about by the wide economic gulf that exists between blacks and whites in South Africa.
