The tour begins in "District Six" including the District Six Museum. You then continue on to the townships of Langa & Khayelitsha, Cape Town's largest informal settlement area.
Walking Tour of the Malay Quarter intends to meet the Cape Malay population. The Malay Quarter is home to a large segment of the Capes Malay (Muslim) population. The original immigrants (slaves, political exiles) spoke a language called Malay and thus their descendants have become known as the Cape Malays.
The Malay population has made a significant contribution to the development of South African society, especially to its language and cuisine.
