Kramat Road, Faure
Kramat of Shaykh Yusuf, Faure
Why this place
The kramat of Shaykh Yusuf of Makassar at Faure takes the story of Muslim settlement beyond central Cape Town. His household at Zandvliet is associated with the early Muslim community at the Cape, and visiting this place helps put that history in the landscape. It is worth reading his chapter before travelling so the journey has a clear context.
Arrange transport and confirm access before setting out. Bring water and clothing suitable for a quiet religious visit. Allow time to approach the site without rushing, and take advice locally if anyone needs help with the route. Keep photography considerate and leave other visitors space for their own observance.
