The huge suburb/former township called Tembisa was originally
Thembisa, promise
(-thembisa
cause to hope
encourage, enthuse, motivate
assure, promise)
Thembisa/Tembisa was part of the complex world of racial and ethnic segregation created under Apartheid, and far from erased. Also now the largest former township, after Soweto.
For some the move there represented loss, for others, some hope. Tembisa later became an area of focused political action and violent conflict.
