One of South Africa’s oldest Towns and Naval base is. Simon's Town, sometimes spelled Simonstown. Simon’s Town is a very picturesque and Historical Town just 35 km outside Cape Town.
From the Toy and Navy Museums to the eateries and shops. Naval Base. Simon’s Town is also South Africa's largest Naval Base. A small dockyard facility was first established in Simon’s Town by the Dutch East India Company in 1743. This was taken over by the British Royal Navy in the 1790's, under whom the facility was further developed over the following Century and a half.
A pair of stone storehouses dating from the 1740's stand on the seafront where they were built by the Dutch East India Company, marking the initial location of the yard. Immediately adjacent is the earliest Royal Naval building. This Building is a combined Mast-House, Boathouse and Sail Loft. It dates back from 1815, it now serves as the South African Naval Museum.

Over the next few Decades this site was developed gradually. With steam engineering and coaling facilities being added mid-Century.
In 1885 the government of the Cape Colony ,transferred the assets of the Simon’s Bay Dock and Patent Slip Company to the British Admiralty. By the close of the Century, however, it became clear that more space would be needed to accommodate the requirements of a modern Navy. In 1898 a large Site was acquired, to the East of the original Yard for a dockyard extension. Sir John Jackson and Co Ltd. were chosen to do the work and construction began in 1900. The new harbour would encompass an area of 11 hectares, with a breakwater of 914 m long. It would also contain a drydock 240 m long and 29 m wide with a sizeable steam factory, constructed alongside. The drydock was named the 'Selborne Graving Dock' after the Earl of Selborne, the High Commissioner of the Cape. Work on the Simon’s Town Dockyard was completed in 1910. The Naval Base was handed over to the South African Navy, in 1957 under the Simons Town Agreement. The dockyard was expanded in 1975, a large area of land was reclaimed and the harbour walls were extended to form a new tidal basin.

JUST FOR INTEREST : An extract from the book by DOUGIE OAKES: ''WHEN HORROR VISITED LUYOLO IN SIMON’S TOWN''
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TWO years before Simon’s Town was declared a white group area and a process set in motion that over the next few years result in the majority of its colored residents being moved to present-day Ocean View, 1500 African residents were moved from the outskirts of the town.

The apartheid government did not need a Group Areas Act to remove the residents of Luyolo.

Functionaries of the National Party had a battery of nearly 20 laws which they could apply to forcibly move mainly African people from wherever they were living – and they were prepared to apply these with missionary zeal.

One of the harshest, most cynical of these pieces of legislation was the Black Prohibition of Interdicts Act, which prevented those under threat of removal from seeking the protection of the courts – even if they could prove that the government was acting beyond their powers in trying to move them.

The courts were barred from issuing orders restraining officials acting on behalf of the government from carrying out removals.

These officials could call on the full might of the state – including the police, the security police and army – to, for instance, detain activists and ban meetings.

Officials also had the power to enforce removals at gunpoint, if they found this to be necessary.

Worse, if they believed it necessary to call in the help of the army, no news of the removal of communities could be published in terms of laws preventing the disclosure of the movement of the country’s armed forces.

It was little wonder then that the close-knit community of Luyolo was removed so quickly, so brutally and with such precision.

One day the ‘location’ was there. The next day it was gone, with its residents moved to the far-off township of Gugulethu, which most of them didn’t know.

Mzimkhulu Mamputa was a child when it happened, but even he was able to appreciate the horror that was inflicted on the community.

“The trucks came in and families were told to pack up their possessions and load it onto the vehicles,” he said.

What we couldn’t squeeze in had to be left behind.

We had furniture we couldn’t bring. My tricycle had to stay behind.

The waxed boards that we used to sail down the sand with, couldn’t come with us,” Mamputa said.

He said people had to leave their dogs behind.

“We were more fortunate in this respect. We had a big, strong dog called ‘Wagter’ which somehow we managed to fit in with us.

“When these removals are discussed, the sense of loss suffered by adults are almost always mentioned. But the children, the youngsters, were also deprived of things we loved.

This, and being forced to move so brutally, had a massive effect on us,” he said.

My older sister Kuku was in Johannesburg when we were moved. When she returned and travelled to what used to be her home, there was nothing for her to see.

She had kept chickens, almost as pets. She loved them – and now they were gone. She was heartbroken,” Mamputa said.

In Luyolo, Mamputa had lived in ‘two houses’, which were side by side – the one belonging to his mother and the other to his grandmother.

Despite the imperfections of the location – it had, for instance, only one road in and out of it – it was for him, in many ways, an idyllic existence. “I would run up and down the hills with my friends.

The beach was within walking distance. We’d swim every day,” he said.

Gugulethu was a different world for him and his friends.

For his mother and grandmother, both of whom had worked close by to their previous home – the one in Fish Hoek and the other in Kalk Bay – travelling became a burden.

The whole world of the community was thrown into chaos, he said.
