Expulsions of populations from ancestral land were a cornerstone of apartheid rule and urban planning. This article explores the multiple layers of expulsions of both African and Indian populations that occurred in and around Cato Manor, a large centrally located area in Durban, South Africa, throughout the twentieth century. Bloody conflicts that engulfed the area between 1949 and 1959 led to the removal of all residents in the early 1960s. Two antagonistic constructions of memories of those dramatic events – an Indian narrative of loss, an African narrative of loss and subsequent repossession – still frame public perceptions of the area. The haunting of the expulsions of the past remains a stumbling block for establishing shared urban history and memories in Durban
