Remembered as a slave sent from Java in the 1770s who tended herds and dug wells on the slopes of Signal Hill in between periods of meditation, it would appear that this subaltern might well have been more than that. Certainly he was successful at concealing his identity (and abilities) from his former jailers and two colonial regimes, finally taking his resting place high on the ridge above Cape Town in 1806, above the space assigned to a more scripturally-charged rival.

    UNIVERSITY OF THE WESTERN CAPE MASTER’S THESIS Name of Candidate: Mohammed Luqmaan Kagee Student Number: 3559065 Proposed Degree: Master of Arts in Islamic Studies Department: Religion & Theology Programme: Humanities & Food Security Title of Thesis: The Implementation of Islamic Perspectives on Nutrition in the Context of Muslim Faith-Based Organisations in Cape Town Supervisor: Dr. Mustapha Saidi Co-supervisor: Prof. Ernst Conradie Date: November 2017 Dedication This Master’s thesis is dedicated to my revered spiritual mentor, Mohamed Saied Soofie (d. 2016) who was the custodian of the main spiritual Ṣūfī hospice established by Soofie Saheb, in Riverside, Durban. This thesis is further dedicated to my teacher, Masood Ahmed Kagee (d. 2017), who taught me the holy Qur’ān. They imparted values of sincerity, benevolence and conviction. http://etd.uwc.ac.za Abstract South African debates on food security address a wide range of issues related to the production, the distribution and the consumption of food in the context of deep concerns over the impact of poverty, unemployment and inequality. One aspect of such debates is on the need for nutritious food amidst hunger, malnutrition, obesity and the prevalence of diabetes. This study will investigate the Islamic theological injunctions and guidelines that govern the production, the different facets of distribution and the consumption of food in Muslim communities. There are numerous theological injunctions from the Qur’ān and prophetic traditions (Ḥadīth) guiding the Muslim community in relation to food security. These include injunctions around the need to provide nutritious food. The study will assess the programmes of five Muslim faith-based organisations in the Cape Town Metropolitan Area, working in the field of food security and more specifically, feeding schemes.

  • Background Information on the Slave Route Challenge: Cape Town Was
    Background information on the Slave Route Challenge: Cape Town was built by the enslaved and apprentices from Indonesia and Malaysia and many Capetonians trace their ancestors through them. It was the dream of Farouk Meyer, founder member of the Itheko Sport AC to have a race that traces the footsteps of our ancestors in the Western Cape by incorporating the BoKaap and District Six. A running event with the purpose of raising awareness about our history and our heritage and the ‘Slave Route Challenge’ was born. The Inaugural SRC was in 2011 and 2018 sees its 8th year! This event is hosted by the Itheko Sport AC, under the auspices of Western Province Athletics (WPA) and organized by Itheko Event Management. Leliebloem House is the Race Beneficiary. There are 4 different events: Half Marathon (21.1km) 10km Run 10km Big Walk 5km Fun Run / Walk. This way we can incorporate the novice, the occasional walker, the intermediate runner and the avid runner. The Slave Route Challenge is unique in that it is a race with a heritage and historic significance that takes you from The City Hall through District 6, Gardens, Company Gardens, Wale Street, BoKaap, Sea Point, Green Point, CBD and back down Darling Street into the Castle of Good Hope and the finish on the Grand Parade. In BoKaap the runners and walkers enjoy a traditional Cape Malay Koesister! A sweet spicy delicacy! This event always happens on Mothers’ Day! This event brings Cape Town together from all walks of life. It truly encapsulates the spirit of Ubunthu! Runners and walkers are given the opportunity to run and walk in District Six and the BoKaap, to marvel at the beauty and cultural diversity of Cape Town, to experience the heritage sites, to run through the Castle of Good Hope, to appreciate our cultural diversity and to embrace other Capetonians.
