BO-KAPIE (1833) is, as its name implies, a typical example of the multi coloured houses found in the Bo-Kaap. Nestling under the steep slopes of Signal Hill in Cape Town, the Bo-Kaap  is where Malay residents, forcibly brought to the Cape, made their homes after slavery was abolished in the 1830’s. It  is known as the Malay/Islamic Quarter of Cape Town ( “Slamse Buurt”).
