Mamelodi Vintage
Due to forced removals, Mamelodi came to exist. First known as Vlaka, taken from Vlakfontein, the name Mamelodi changed in 1962 at the behest of the first Mayor, Mr H.M Pitje. The trajectory by the National Party Government was to remove all black sports for creation of the White Suburbs.
Musical Heritage
Mamelodi is blessed to have produced great musical geniuses and legends: Dr Phillip Tabane and Fulian Bahula rehearsing at Mamelodi West Hall in 1961. Mogwanane Mahlole, Ernest Mothle and Dr Vui Mahlasela.
