Pageview is a suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa. It is located in Region F.
Originally populated by non-whites including Cape Malays and Indians, it was one of two adjacent suburbs (Pageview & Vrededorp) commonly known as Fietas.[2]
The area was cleared of non-whites by the apartheid government in the 1970s. Many homes were bulldozed, and housing for white people was built on some of the land, with large parts remaining undeveloped. This heritage is now commemorated at the Fietas Museum
