The Docrats' lavatory was part of this concrete structure that supported the water tank of their house in Fietas. The Docrats were "Asians" and the area in which they had lived since the 1880s had been declared a Group Area for whites by the apartheid government. So they were moved to Lenasia and their house on 20th Street Pageview/Fietas was destroyed. However the front-end loaders couldn't bring down this core which stands to this day.
