  • "Malay" refers to that section of the Muslim community in the Peninsula whose ancestors were sent there during the 17th and 18th centuries. They came mainly from Java and the Indonesian islands (especially Bali). The first group arrived in 1667 with other groups following later. In the Cape however, they mingled with other races, among them the indigenous peoples of South Africa, as well as Arabs, Indians, Chinese and Whites.

    There are about 166 000 of them in Cape Town and about 10 000 in Johannesburg. In Cape Town most of them live in the Malay Quarter on the slopes of Signal Hill. Many also lived in District Six before it was demolished.
