It also explores how the Muslim community has transformed as a result of these changing residential patterns. This thesis confronts the question of where have Muslims been living in Cape Town and how have residential choices affected the Muslim community. For this thesis, I interviewed approximately twenty-five Muslim families living in Cape Town. I gathered their family stories to create an understanding of Muslim housing patterns throughout Cape Town’s later history. These families ranged in socioeconomic status, religious commitment, residential suburb, education, and political affiliation. In determining where Muslims were living, I also examined their occupations, familial and social networks, aspirations, and perspectives on the Cape Town Muslim community. In order to expand on these family histories, I interviewed key figures in the Cape Town Muslim community. These included scholars, notable historian as well as imam Yusuf da Costa, founding members of the Muslim Judicial Council, various imams and well-known Muslim political activists and civil society members. I supplemented my qualitative interviews with Census data and the results of the Cape Area Panel Study. This quantitative data allowed objective analysis of Muslim residential patterns and, in the case of the Cape Area Panel Study, provided insight into Muslim youth adherence to community norms. Additionally, I examined the locations and founding dates of mosques and Muslim schools in metropolitan Cape Town. This information allowed me to determine which areas have supported large numbers of Muslim families and at what point did 4 these families move there. Finally, newspaper archives and secondary sources provided insight into Muslim communities and residential patterns. Prior to the Group Areas Act, Muslims predominantly lived in urban areas such as the City Bowl, Woodstock and District Six, the Southern Suburbs, Strand and Simon’s Town.. While these areas had high numbers of Muslim residents, they were not exclusively Muslim enclaves. Rather, Muslims lived side by side with non-Muslims with ease and familiarity. However, their religious affiliation was a major marker of identity, and while relations with non-Muslims were strong, Muslims still formed a distinctive community in terms of their social networks, customs, and even organizations such as sports teams and civic associations. Muslims occupied a wide range of socioeconomic levels at this time, yet Muslim social circles were not divided by ecnomic class. The Group Areas Act indiscriminately divided the Muslim community into Coloured and Indian Group Areas (with the exception of Bo-Kaap which remained a Muslim-only enclave). Muslims were strewn across the Cape Flats in housing schemes which were divided by race, and in the case of the coloured population, by class as well. As a result of the Group Areas Act, the majority of Muslims were forced to live in working-class Coloured townships. A smaller number of Muslims were able to purchase homes in middle-class suburbs, such as Athlone, Belgravia and Crawford. While life in the Cape Flats was far from ideal for all Group Areas removees, those who were forced into renting schemes in working-class townships suffered disproportionately from high crime rates, lack of infrastructure, and distance from jobs. The Group Areas Act paved the way for residential economic stratification and thus divergent life experiences within the Cape Town Muslim community. While economic diversity existed within the Muslim community prior to the Group Areas Act, the statutory enforcement of segregation 5 converted class differentiation within neighbourhoods into class stratrification between class- defined neighbourhoods. With the end of the Group Areas Act and apartheid, Muslims in Cape Town fall into one of three distinct categories—those who have had the means to move to former white areas, those living in middle-class former coloured areas, and finally those who continue to reside in coloured townships. These three patterns have spawned different challenges and notions of community amongst Muslims in the Cape. Ultimately, the apartheid-era racial segregation and the subsequent desegregation in the 1990’s, transformed the Muslim community. On the micro-level, Muslims are now dispersing throughout metropolitan Cape Town, their varying residential choices affecting their sense of community in their neighbourhoods. The daily lived experiences of Muslims in Cape Town differ from suburb to suburb, as they are largely dependent on socioeconomic class and residential choices. Class and residential choices play a large role in determining their interactions with non-Muslims and their conceptions of their immediate communities. As a result, the Muslim population is less cohesive than in the past. However, on a broader scale, the notion of a Cape Town Muslim community, is very much alive. While Cape Town Muslims live vastly different lives, they still maintain that they are part of a wider all-encompassing, albeit imagined, Muslim community. Their religious identity and resultant spiritual and cultural practices, supersede racial, economic, educational, and residential differences. Although they may show different levels of religiosity, their belief in Islam creates a distinctive and unifying identity marker. The notion of a greater Muslim community in Cape Town, united by a common belief system, has largely remained the same 6 since Islam was brought to the Cape. While community dynamics have changed from the early- twentieth century, the Muslim community remains a visible part of the Cape Town landscape. 7 Introduction The Muslim community of Cape Town has occupied a visible role in the city’s history and society. However, there have been few studies which have analyzed the evolution of the Muslim community in Cape Town, from colonialism to present. This thesis examines the changes in Cape Town’s Muslim community vis a vis their residential choices. Specifically, this thesis examines where Muslims were living prior to the Group Areas Act, as a result of the Group Areas Act, and presently, nineteen years after the end of apartheid. In doing so, it also examines the nature of the Muslim community during these time periods. It examines what the Muslim community was like on the micro-scale (the suburb or neighbourhood) as well as on a larger scale (across metropolitan Cape Town). It provides a glimpse of the daily life of Muslims in a range of Cape Town suburbs—the challenges which they face, the nature of their community, their aspirations and predictions for the future. While several historians and sociologists throughout the years have studied the Cape Town Muslim community (du Plessis, da Costa, Davids, Bangstad), there has not been a comprehensive study of the Muslim trajectory in the Cape focusing on shifting residential choices and their effects on the Muslim community. Izak du Plessis, an early twentieth century writer, as well as the Commissioner for Coloured Affairs, took an interest in the Muslims of the Cape. He wrote extensively on Muslim culture in Cape Town and popularized the term “Cape Malay” to refer to the Muslims of Cape Town in his 1944 book The Cape Malays. Yusuf da Costa, an imam and a historian, has published a series of studies on the history and identity of Cape Town Muslims.

  • A Look at the Coloured Community
    NOT FOR PUBLICATION INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS JCB-10- A Look at the 16 Dan Pienaaz Road Coloued Commun_ ty Duzban, Nat al Republic of South Africa June 1st, 1962 Ir. Richard Nolte Institute of Current World Affairs 66 ladison Avenue New York 17, Iew York Dear ir. Nolte: There are many interesting parallels between the South African Coloured people and the Nnerican Negro. Each is a group today only because colour singles them out for dis- crimination. They each have developed a culture that has little in common with that of the tribal African. And perhaps their most striking s iw.ilarity'lies in their mutual desire for full cit.zenship in their respective countries. However, while the position of the Negro ]as improved considerably in the last fifteen years the opposite has been true in South Africa. e Coloured population has not yet reached tle toint where they have a strong group consciousness, nor do they have the hope of a national government implementing a consti- tution in which their rights are fully guaranteed. They lack what ot-er South African racial groups have and that is a distinct cultural identity of their own. Their culture is that of the White South African, especially the Afrikaner. Even the Cape Malays, who with trei: loslem faith are about the most 'foreign' of the Coloureds, speak Afrikaans. Because there is so little difference in culture, light skins have made possible easy entry into the hite community. One social worker estimates that in recent years 25,000 have left the Cape to establish White identities in the Transvaal.

This dissertation has two components, one History and one Education, and the central unifying theme is Environmental History. The History component examines the historiography of this sub-discipline, and then applies an environmental analysis as an example of its use in historical research. The second component explores the use of Environmental History in the teaching of school history, and presents a curriculum model which uses this approach. Both components use the Liesbeek River valley in the Cape Peninsula as a case-study. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I need to start off by thanking the person who provided the spark from which this dissertation grew: in June 1994, when I was rather desperately casting about for a research topic which would satisfy both the historical and education components of the course, Howard Phillips of the History Department at UCT mentioned the term "Environmental History".

  • BLACK ISLAM SOUTH AFRICA Religious Territoriality, Conversion
    BLACK ISLAM SOUTH AFRICA Religious Territoriality, Conversion, and the Transgression of Orderly Indigeneity Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades Dr. phil. im Promotionsfach Geographie am Fachbereich Chemie, Pharmazie, Geographie und Geowissenschaften der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz vorgelegt von Matthias Gebauer geb. in Lichtenfels 2019 i Abstract Social alienation and the struggle to belong in the South African society are not only matters of political discourse but touch the practical sphere of everyday life in the respective places of residence. This thesis therefore approaches the entanglements of religion and space within the processes of re-ordering African indigeneity in post-apartheid South Africa. It asks how conversion to Islam constitutes the longing for a post-colonial and post-racialized African self. This study specifically engages with dynamics surrounding Black and Muslim practices and identity politics in formerly demarcated Black African areas. Here, even after the official end of apartheid, spatial racialization and social inequalities persist. Modes of orderings rooted in colonialism and apartheid still define what orderly belonging and African indigeneity mean. Thus, the inhabitants of those spaces find themselves in situations every day in which their habitat continuously ascribes oppression and racialization. The post-1994 promise for equal citizenship seems to be slowly fading, becoming a broken promise, on whose fulfillment the majority of people who were previously—by official definition and demarcation—only granted the right of being a migratory workforce, sojourners in the White spaces, are still waiting. Against this background, this thesis engages with the attempts to reformulate and recreate African indigeneity on the basis of a counter-hegemonic ideology of being Black and Muslim.

  • Coloured’ Schools in Cape Town, South Africa
    Constructing Ambiguous Identities: Negotiating Race, Respect, and Social Change in ‘Coloured’ Schools in Cape Town, South Africa Daniel Patrick Hammett Ph.D. The University of Edinburgh 2007 1 Declaration This thesis has been composed by myself from the results of my own work, except where otherwise acknowledged. It has not been submitted in any previous application for a degree. i Abstract South African social relations in the second decade of democracy remain framed by race. Spatial and social lived realities, the continued importance of belonging – to feel part of a community, mean that identifying as ‘coloured’ in South Africa continues to be contested, fluid and often ambiguous. This thesis considers the changing social location of ‘coloured’ teachers through the narratives of former and current teachers and students. Education is used as a site through which to explore the wider social impacts of social and spatial engineering during and subsequent to apartheid. Two key themes are examined in the space of education, those of racial identity and of respect. These are brought together in an interwoven narrative to consider whether or not ‘coloured’ teachers in the post-apartheid period are respected and the historical trajectories leading to the contemporary situation. Two main concerns are addressed. The first considers the question of racial identification to constructions of self-identity. Working with post-colonial theory and notions of mimicry and ambivalence, the relationship between teachers and the identifier ‘coloured’ is shown to be problematic and contested. Second, and connected to teachers’ engagement with racialised identities, is the notion of respect. As with claims to identity and racial categorisation, the concept of respect is considered as mutable and dynamic and rendered with contextually subjective meanings that are often contested and ambivalent.

  • Hunger Is Growing, Emergency Food Aid Is Dwindling
    Hunger is growing, emergency food aid is dwindling “Community kitchens crying out for help and support” EDP Report to WCG Humanitarian Cluster Committee 13 July 2020 Introduction Food insecurity in poor and vulnerable communities in Cape Town and the Western Cape was prevalent before the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic (CoCT Food Systems and Food Security Study, 2014; Western Cape Government Household Food and Nutrition Security Strategic Framework, 2016). The pandemic has exacerbated food insecurity in poor and vulnerable communities in three ways: 1. Impact of lockdown. Lockdown, and curtailment of economic activities since end-March, has neGatively affected the livelihoods of the ‘existing poor’, i.e. street traders, spaza shops, small scale fishers and farmers, seasonal farm workers, as well as the circumstances of the ‘newly poor’, through job losses and small business closures. A recent Oxfam report confirmed this trend worldwide: “New hunGer hotspots are also emerGinG. Middle-income countries such as India, South Africa, and Brazil are experiencinG rapidly risinG levels of hunGer as millions of people that were just about managing have been tipped over the edge by the pandemic”. (The Hunger Virus: How Covid-19 is fuelling hunger in a hungry world, Oxfam, July 2020.) 2. Poor performance of national government. Research by Prof Jeremy Seekings has shown that “the total amount of food distributed (through food parcels and feeding schemes) in the first three months of the lockdown was a tiny fraction of what was needed urGently – and was even a small fraction of what would ordinarily have been distributed without a lockdown.
