Founding date edit

Philippi must have been founded before 1980, as it is mentioned in a well-known poem by Ingrid Jonker ("Die kind wat dood geskiet is deur soldate by Nyanga" / "The child who was shot dead by soldiers in Nyanga") written in 1960 in response to the Sharpeville massacre and published in her 1963 collection Rook en oker. Does anybody know of a more accurate date? --Leviel (talk) 10:40, 17 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
