Dear Barbara,
I have just ordered a microfilm from my local LDS centre for passenger lists
for ships into South Africa, from Europe between 1849 and 1892. The
destination on this film is Port Elizabeth but I have been told there is
one for ships arriving at Cape Town as well. I hope this may help you.
Yours sincerely
Hilary Alexander
