History of Wetton

Wetton is primarily a long-established residential suburb, with schools, small local shops, and convenient access to major roads connecting the Southern Suburbs and the Cape Flats. This is a small suburb in Cape Town that was declared a “whites-only” area. Post 1994, coloured people began to move back into the suburb.
