The Cape Malays
Description
The colorful homes of Cape Town’s Bo Kaap neighborhood make up one of the oldest parts of the city, known for its large Muslim population. The diverse people of the Bo Kaap community have come to be known as Cape Malays, the progeny of a group of mostly Indonesian exiles and enslaved people from Asia and Africa who were brought to South Africa starting in the 16th Century. Today, the descendants honor their heritage and ancestors through various means, including an annual road race, visual art, traditional spices, as well as through oral histories. Some of those descendants have even found out their forebears came from aristocratic and royal backgrounds. Discover the elaborate rituals and rich past of the Cape Malays, the ethnic group that first introduced Islam to South Africa, and find out how they plan to maintain their identity well into the future.
