About this Qonce map poster
Qonce, known until 2021 as King William's Town, lies inland from East London on the Buffalo River. The river curves around the old centre, and the nineteenth-century grid of the colonial town fits inside this loop. Around it, townships and newer suburbs spread across the surrounding hills, with the main roads leading toward the coast and Bhisho, the provincial capital, next door.
The town has an important place in South African history. Steve Biko grew up nearby and is buried in Ginsberg, on the edge of the town, where a garden of remembrance marks his grave. The Amathole Museum and the old public buildings show the town's long history as a frontier and administrative centre.
A Qonce map poster shows the river loop wrapped around the grid, with the looser patterns of the surrounding districts beyond. The Buffalo River gives the print a clear curve, and the contrast between the ordered centre and the hills around it makes a strong composition.

Colonial grid
Straight streets and rectangular blocks make up the old core, a clear nineteenth-century layout within the river's curve.
Bhisho next door
The provincial capital lies immediately to the north, so the map shows two linked towns across the same rolling landscape.

Why Qonce
A map that means something
Qonce holds deep meaning for Eastern Cape families and for anyone interested in the country's political history. A map of the town honours a place that is often passed through but rarely portrayed.
