Ennerdale, Gauteng
Ennerdale is a town in Gauteng, South Africa. Ennerdale was declared as a coloured group area under the apartheid regime. According to Crankshaw 2022
'the coloureds-only suburb of Ennerdale, which was developed later during the 1980s, was built for homeownership by the private sector and home loans were financed by private banks (Lupton, 1991: pp.20–1; 1993).' [2]

Even though apartheid ended in 1994 people say it's a "coloured" community but it's mixed. Best known for its religious grouping, Ennerdale has more churches than business. Most young people between the age of 22 and 37 do not prefer to engage in the countries economic activities, they rather open a church.
