 | | The Forum in fact also organized a mini-conference to which a number of Southeast Asians were invited; this effort was not well supported by the community because of internal (ongoing) community politics. | | | A summarised version of this thesis now appears in his article entitled “Reclassification: Coloured, Malay, Muslims” in Chapter 4 pp.80-96 of Erasmus’s earlier mentioned 2001 publication. | | | There were other prominent individuals whose origins are from Turkey but who seem to find it appropriate to use the term and don the Southeast Asian outfit. |

| | When bulldozers moved in to flatten the suburb in 1966, an estimated 60,000 Cape Muslims (referred to as coloureds) were living in what was condemned as a ghetto by the apartheid hardliners. | | | When the bulldozers finally moved out, all that was left were a few churches and mosques -- in a weird attempt at morality, religious buildings were exempt from the demolition order. | | | Home to a section of the Cape's Muslim community (often referred to as the Cape Malays despite the fact that only 1 percent of their forefathers, skilled slaves imported by the Dutch, were born in Malaysia), this is one of the city's oldest and most interesting areas. |

| | Further, since many Cape Malay people find their Muslim identity to be more salient than their "Malay" ancestry, there have also been many instances in which people in one situation were described as "Cape Malay", and were in another situation described as "Cape Muslim" by people both inside and outside of the community. | | | Like many South Africans, people described in some situations as "Cape Malay" are often the descendants of people from many continents and religions. | | | It is estimated that there are about 166,000 people in Cape Town who could be described as Cape Malay, and about 10,000 in Johannesburg. |

| | Some of these political exiles were also religious leaders and it was their presence that helped the Cape Muslim culture and community to covertly form despite the banning of Islam by the Dutch. | | | The Group Areas Act of 1950 declared the Malay Quarter, otherwise known as the Bo-Kaap, exclusively the residence of Cape Town's coloured Muslim population and the Cape Malays survived attempts by the apartheid government in the late 1960s to push them out of the area. | | | Despite the suppression of colour, the neighbourhood is one of the few so close to a city centre to have survived those years with much of its original character intact. |
