Cape Malay cooking class in Bo Kaap with Andulela

I love curry, and had to learn how to cook some of the amazing food I was eating while in Cape Town. Not only did I learn how to make a mean curry, as well as roti, I learned all about the historic Bo Kaap neighborhood.
Tours like this one, where you spend a day with locals, learning and laughing are definitely the best.

So, I believe you are confusing 2 different events in history

1) Bo-Kaap was founded and settled by slaves during the 17th century

and

2) the apartheid government created the Group Areas Act of 1950, which segregated racial groups into certain areas, including assigning the Muslims to Bo-Kaap

Hope this clears things up!

The Bo-Kaap was not assigned to the muslims during apartheit (which basically really only came into being in the 1960's) but to the slaves that came from Java and Malaka in the 17th Century.
