Eyesore to Icon
The Eastern Boulevard freeway situated in the center of Cape Town has been unfinished since the early 1970’s . First considered to look like a display of blight or South African incompetence this freeway has strangely developed popularity and an iconic status. The initial use of this freeway not being justified in terms of traffic has rather been used for the set of international movie shoots ) and getting the South African spirit flowing with the addition of a large Vuvuzela during the World Cup. “They will never finish it” Thembisa leader of the road closing, “but why would they?” If you look at it from this angle the freeway along with its constant usage has moved away from being an eyesore and has merged as an iconic part of this beautiful City Scape.
