Bo-Kaap Museum and Auwal Masjid Mosque

An introduction to the Bo-Kaap where journalists were taken on a journey of the Cape Malay people and their culture. As a cultural enthusiast, Aqeelah time travelled with her guests on a sensual journey of the existence and history of the Bo-Kaap and its inhabitants of Freed Slaves.

Although slaves and convicts came from various cultures and religions, no other faiths were practiced at the Cape. Islam, on the other hand, became a strong force, although it was not allowed to be practiced publicly. It was initially led by Muslim political prisoners from Malaysia and Indonesia sent to the Cape in the 17th century. Over the years this religious community became known as the 'Cape Malays'.
