Our walk through the historic Malay quarter of Cape Town takes us through its nooks and crannies, its legends and secrets, as we hunt for the sources of those wonderful aromas and discover the distinctive cuisine of the Cape Malay community.

The Slaves were brought to Cape Town by shortly after the Dutch landed in 1652.The were from Sumatra,Java and Borneo.The survivors of the sea journey were sold,could not speak their language,have a religion(not much Malay language survived)The indentured Indian labourers came to SA in 1860-200 years after the Malay slaves came.Check Cape Malays in Wikipedia.(I’m a Cape Malay)

True, they were a level above slavery, not quite the same thing! They were mostly from java, malaysia and the other dutch former colonies, some of the comments by this local guide is inaccurate
