Athlone is steeped in struggle history since the 1970’s and 80’s when students and the community on the Cape Flats were involved in protest action against the Apartheid regime. City Park Stadium from which the murdered activist Imam Haron was buried, Alexander Sinton High School and Hewat Training College (now College of Cape Town) are well known historic buildings in the revolution history of South Africa.
