RE: ADSactly History - Bo-Kaap and the Arrival of First Muslims to South Africa
Bo Kaap is a residential area on the Hill descents in South Africa. It is said that its inhabitants are descendants of slaves transported by the Dutch of Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India and Indonesia. These formed the Bo Kaap community.
For those who ask for the reason for these bright colors, well this is a new creation to celebrate the presence of Muslims. Before, the houses were all white. Then, the inhabitants agreed to the bright colors to prepare the celebration of Eid.Thanks for the share of this great history.
Extremely interesting story of people and their beliefs, struggling to support each other. It is a pity that this area has drastically diminished, but I am glad that people are aware of the history of this place and want to preserve it.
