Pimville township:founded in 1904 as Klipspruit and renamed Pimville in 1934, after James Howard Pim* who was deputy mayor of Johannesburg in 1903. --- New Dictionary of South African Biography, EJ Verwey
The name Soweto (SouthWestern Townships) was not coined until 1963, after a four year "competition" to find a name for Johannesburg's "slum clearance". The prize was a mere £10.
