[1] Bishop Lavis is one of many townships that was established in the Western Cape Province by the country's reigning regime at the introduction of apartheid in South Africa.

During this period non-white citizens were moved from their lands and homes across the region (because it was abruptly designated for "whites only"), into these townships.
