Queenstown is a town in Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. The town lies in an upper valley of the Great Kei River. It has a distinctive hexagonal shape, designed by its founder, Sir George Cathcart, as a precaution against attack. Queenstown was founded in 1853 intended to be a military outpost designed to protect the British subjects from attack during the time of the Frontier wars. The town was laid out around a central hexagon, which was to be the lager to which the citizens would flee in time of trouble.
Ezibeleni is the largest township in the Queenstown area. Its original name was Queensdale, named after Queenstown. Ezibeleni was a town established near Queenstown in the 1960s, the majority of the Black population was moved east to the township of Ezibeleni, as part of the removal of Africans to Bantustans, or homelands.
Ezibeleni was officially recognized in 1974, when as a part of Apartheid, black South Africans were not allowed to live, but only to work, in the white-dominated Queenstown. In order to pursue the policy of separate development, the apartheid-era government of the time dictated that, due to its location on the map and the predominant Xhosa ethnicity of its people, Ezibeleni would belong to Transkei, one of ten fragmented Bantustans, or homelands, scattered across South Africa. It was incorporated into Queenstown after 1984.

Van Schoor’s Apartheid killer rampage was made possible by a white establishment that remained silent as his black victims piled up, many of them impoverished children such as Liefie Peters, 13, gunned down while hiding in the toilet. In 2004, van Schoor was released on parole after serving 12 years of his 20-year sentence in the East London, South African prison.
Apartheid in South Africa caused the lives of millions of black Africans to turn upside down inside out and they were subjected to unspeakable hardships. White Africans privileged by their white skins could lead comfortable lives by ignoring what was happening around them. The layer of unawareness was most noticeable in rural Afrikaans towns.
Van Schoor said, "I was doing my job - I was paid to protect property. Van Schoor was convicted of seven murders and two attempted murders. Upon his release in 2004, Van Schoor said he had found God and, when prompted, expressed sorrow to his victims' relatives. "I never apologized for what I did. I apologized for any hurt or pain that I caused through my actions during the course of my work."
On October 15, 2002, Van Schoor 23-year-old daughter, Sabrina Van Schoor began her own 25 year prison sentence for hiring a hitman Feza Mdutshane, to murder her mother, Beverly.
