Watch: Cape Malay Quarter mass street iftar

In the spirit of togetherness indicative of the blessed month of Ramadaan, the Bo-Kaap community invited all to the old Cape Malay Quarter for “Boeka innie Bo-Kaap”, a mass street iftar.

Annually, thousands gather for the occasion, when roads are cordoned off and turned into enormous dinner tables.

The first mass boeka in Bo-Kaap was initiated in 2018, during a time of heightened protests against gentrification and social challenges.
