This is the third in a series of posts covering Cape Town and the surrounding Western Cape region. I present images from the Bo-Kapp district which centrally located between the central business district and the lower slopes of Signal Hill It is a predominantly Muslim district with many mosques, originally settled by freed slaves who had been brought to Cape Town from the Dutch East Indies. The district population was spared being removed during Apartheid. I took a cooking class in one of the homes and learned a bit of what is called Cape Malay cooking. We made roti bread, samoses, chicken curry, chili bites and other good things. I highly recommend the experience see the Andulela site for details, I also did their jazz tour which was equally great.
Such a colorful neighborhood.
