About Vrygrond WCG eCentre

Vrygrond (Free Ground) and its environs is located near the False Bay seaboard in the greater Cape Town Municipal area. The history of Vrygrond is one of constant change in response to the political pressures imposed by Apartheid legislation and engineering on the one hand, and stories of increasing intergenerational rural-urban migration, unemployment, homelessness, and intra-African migration on the other.

Vrygrond is one of the oldest settlements in the Western Cape, where self-reliant families pursued a simple way of life over many decades. The first wave of residents settled on the beach dunes around 1942 and were characterized as “trek” fishermen.

The Vrygrond WCG eCentre was established in collaboration with the department of the Premier’s eCentre Programme and an NGO, New World Foundation (NWF). The eCentre opened its doors in March 2024.
