For the people from South East Asia here; “Malay” is our shared language heritage (alongside with Portuguese creole) since it was the lingua franca amongst the people of East Indies archipelago. Our ancestors were exiles and captives brought by Dutch from all over their colonies in what is now Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Mozambique. To box us into a modern nationality aside from a South African one is rather ignorant since we were born here and our identity came into being in Cape Town. We are descendants from many ethnic groups in Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Mozambique. My own paternal ancestors were exiled from Ternate in the Moluccas (nowadays in Indonesia) but in their own due time they also intermarried with the other people in the Cape like the Khois, Europeans, South Asians and the Bantus. Anyway we Cape Malays nowadays are part of the Coloured community here in CT and for most part aside from our religious/cultural part we don't really get into touch with our distant past and we just identify more with the larger Cape Coloured community. We do still use some Malay words in our Kaaps dialect of Afrikaans like "trima kassie" (thank you), "kanalla" (hello/introduce), "lebarang" (Eid-ul-Fitr), "batja" (read), "ghielat" (lightning), "sambleeh" (slaughter in Halaal manner), "ghamiel" (pregnant), doekoem (shaman/medicine man). A slur word for us Coloureds is "gham" which is short from "ghamba" or slave and "haraam anak" is our equivalent for son-of-a-bitch. However aside from that I don't think we still preserve much of any particular culture/linguistic term from our forefathers. Our food habit is uniquely South African and aside from some obvious East Indies remnant like boboer (porridge), sosatie (satay), bobotie (curried meatloaf), blatjang (condiment), sambaal (pepper sauce) and denningvleis (simmered meat) most of our cusine is a mix from all the cultures that enriched us like samoosa, chutney and breyani from India or koesisters and melktert from the Dutch settlers.

Great explanation. I think more teaching is needed amongst our Coloured and Cape Malay people. Im Coloured proudly so but I've heard from many Cape Malays distancing themselves from other Coloureds. This is a recent occurrence as in the past we were all just Coloured. We lived, succeeded and suffered together. Strangely enough I think there was more unity under apartheid than now. Same with other Coloureds calling themselves all sorts of classifications and claiming all forms of exotic lineages just to separate from other Coloureds.

@@careyqueen3606 Hey Carey, the reason why Cape Malays "distanced" themselves were religious in nature as back in the previous centuries you don't "meng" as much as it is now if you're a Slam ou because we need to observe halaal (not me personally, I'm not religious) when going out for example . Apartheid actually broke that wall and since we were all classified as Coloureds, the intensity of contact between Cape Malays and the others in the Coloured community became bigger because religiously separated neighbourhood was torn down and people, both Slam ous and Kris ous were forced to live together, finding out similarities and breaking that wall. I actually like the idea of having more than just a big Coloured umbrella but different sub-culture that show our diverse roots and the cultual development of our community. I do agree that we should've learn much more about our history from schools and more discussion/discourse about our society should take place maar wat kan ek sê..

I still think that some may use this excuse as a means of distancing since in recent years the term Coloured has come under alot of scrutiny. To a certain degree I can understand that because I myself identify with my Khoi and San roots but still call myself Coloured.

@@patriot4786 Hi Patriot, the thing is that while most of us traced our paternal roots to those from the East Indies archipelago, we are also mixed with other people here in Cape Town. We Cape Malays are part of the Coloured community here in CT and for most part aside from our religious/cultural part we don't really get into touch with our distant past and we just identify more with the larger Cape Coloured community. My mum's own DNA test shows that her Y-haplogroup is only 40% South East Asian with 15% European, 28% Khoisan, 11% South Asian and the rest Bantu/Black. Traditionally we have lived in the Malay Quarter/Kampong Melajoe or now called the Bo-Kaap but ever since the Apartheid regime moved us away we have lost some of our own traditonal Cape Malay cultural aspects. We do still use some Malay words in our Kaaps dialect of Afrikaans like "trima kassie" (thank you), "kanalla" (introduce), "lebarang" (Eid-ul-Fitr), "batja" (read), "ghielat" (lightning), "sambleeh" (slaughter in Halaal), "ghamiel" (pregnant), doekoem (shaman/medicine man).

Syaikh Yusuf Al Makassar Pahlawan kemerdekaan Indonesia pernah belajar di seluruh nusantara Indonesia, Gowa Makassar-Pandeglang Banten-Aceh-dan akhirnya sampai diasingkan di Cape Town, lahul Fatihah

1667 saw the arrival of first Muslim political exiles banished by the Dutch to the Cape. These political exiles or Orang Cayen from Orang Kaya Malay word were Muslim men of wealth and influence who were banished to the Cape from their homeland in the East because the Dutch feared them as a threat to their political and economic hegemony. The first political exiles were the rulers of Sumatra. They were Sheikh Abdurahman Matabe Shah and Sheikh Mahmood. Both were buried in Constantia. From the very outset the Cape authorities accommodated the exiles away from Cape Town as they feared the exiles would escape. A tomb for these political exiles has been erected on "Islam Hill" in Constantia in the Cape.[6] Sheikh Abdurahman Matebe Shah used his exile to consolidate the teaching of Islam among slaves in the Cape. The next Orang Cayen was Sheikh Yusuf of Bantam or Muhammad Yusuf al-Maqassari who arrived on board 'De Voetboog' on 2 April 1694 along with his family and followers. They were housed on a farm in Zandvleit, near the mouth of the Eerste River in the Cape, far from Cape Town, on 14 June 1694. The Company's attempt to isolate Shaykh Yusuf at Zandvleit did not succeed. On the contrary, Zandvleit turned out to be the rallying point for 'fugitive' slaves and other exiles from the East. It was here that the first cohesive Muslim community in South Africa was established. Since the Sheikh and his followers hailed from Macassar, the district around Zandvleit is still known today as Macassar. in 1684 Yusuf was persuaded to surrender on the promise of a pardon, but the Dutch reneged on their promise and instead imprisoned him at the castle of Batavia. Suspecting that he would attempt escape, the Dutch transferred him to Ceylon in September that year, before exiling him to the Cape on 27 June 1693 on the ship Voetboeg. Yusuf, along with 49 followers including two wives, two concubines and twelve children, were received in the Cape on 2 April 1694 by governor Simon van der Stel. They were housed on the farm Zandvliet, far outside of Cape Town, in an attempt to minimise his influence on the DEIC's slaves.] The plan failed however; Yusuf's settlement soon became a sanctuary for slaves and it was here that the first cohesive Islamic community in South Africa was established. From here the message of Islam was disseminated to the slave community of Cape Town.Sheikh Yusuf died at Zandvliet on 23 May 1699. Thereafter the area surrounding Zandvliet farm had been renamed Macassar after his place of birth. He was buried on the hills of Faure, overlooking Macassar. The body of Sheikh Yusuf Tajul Khalwati was brought to Gowa at the request of Sultan Abdul Jalil (1677-1709) and was reburied in Lakiung, in April 1705. Then Sheikh Yusuf Allahu Yarham was awarded the title of National Hero by President Soeharto by Presidential Decree: Keppres No. 071 / TK / 1995, Date. August 7, 1995. in 27 September 2005 Sheikh Yusuf was posthumously awarded the Order or Darjah of the Companions of O. R. Tambo in Gold from south Arica gov. for his contribution to the struggle against colonialism. The Oliver Thambo award, namely the award of the National Hero of South Africa by South African President Thabo Mbeki to his heirs witnessed by the Vice President of Indonesia Haji Muhammad Yusuf Kalla (j.K) in Pretoria South Africa As honour to Sheikh Yusuf, a shrine had been erected over his grave and to this day Muslims in the area visit it to pay their respects. on 27 September 2005 Sheikh Yusuf was posthumously awarded the Order or Darjah of the Companions of O.
