Leeuwenhof Driekoppen

The late 17th century house Leeuwenhof ("Lion's Den") in Driekoppen (Dutch for "Three Heads", now Mowbray) was known as the site where there had been a violent slave revolt. Three slaves were beheaded and their heads placed on spikes. That is where the name Driekoppen originates. There are a number of farms in Cape Town which are associated with slavery and slave struggles, and they have old slave lodge quarters located on them. Today, the site is home to Kopano Residence which is affiliated with the University of Cape Town.
