Jeppie provides an insight into the representation of Cape Muslim history during the celebrations of 300 years of Muslim presence at the Cape (The Sheikh Yusuf Tercentenary) in 1994. Muslim participation in the resistance against colonialism and apartheid was the dominant narrative during the festival. The Cape Muslim majority's ambiguous accommodation with the apartheid regime prior to the 1980s was skirted around

Similarly, Seekings notes that females were largely 'demobilised' in the anti-apartheid struggle of the 1980s when township politics 'came to revolve around violent confrontation'. J. Seekings, 'Gender Ideology and Township Politics in the 1980s', Agenda, 10 (1991), p. 77. S. Jeppie provides an insight into the representation of Cape Muslim history during the celebrations of 300 years of Muslim presence at the Cape (The Sheikh Yusuf Tercentenary) in 1994. Muslim participation in the resistance against colonialism and apartheid was the dominant narrative during the festival. The Cape Muslim majority's ambiguous accommodation with the apartheid regime prior to the 1980s was skirted around.

Jeppie, 'Islam, Narcotics and Defiance', pp. 221-222 describes class divisions in Coloured communities in Cape Town as historically having been 'thin and porous' due to the enforcement of spatial segregation of the city under apartheid. But material, cultural and spatial class divisions among Coloureds undoubtedly have been reconfigured after 1990.

The estimates cited were made by community leaders. Due to methodological flaws in the collection of data in the population censuses, I have every reason to believe that there was a significant undercount of the population, as well as an underestimation of unemployment levels in Mekaar in the censuses prior to 2001. That the population census figure of 14,000 inhabitants for 1994 must be incorrect, is borne out by the fact that, as early as 1983, the then Cape Divisional Council (Divco) estimated the population at around 23,000. There is no reason whatsoever to assume that the figure has decreased since then.(Carnegie Conference Paper, University of Cape Town,)

This concurs with national unemployment trends. Citing a 2002 Labour Force Survey, Altman in The State of Employment and Unemployment, p. 162 states that 72 per cent of unemployed South Africans are under the age of 35. All indicators suggest that the labour absorption rate of the formal sector in South Africa is at an all time low. Unemployment in the Western Cape increased by 50 per cent between 1995 and 2002. In 2002 the employment absorption rate for Coloured entrants to the labour market in the Western Cape stood at 53.92 per cent.

Maralack and Kriel, Area Study of Cape Town, p. 14, quotes interviewees who refer to gang fights in the early years after the forced removals to Mekaar under the Group Areas Act, but it appears that this was related to fights between male residents originating from different areas. Michael Whisson (personal correspondence) relates the historical absence of gangs in Mekaar to the fact that it is a relatively small and geographically restricted Coloured community, a fact that has facilitated social networks of control.

The Muslim Judicial Council (MJC) was established as an administrative organ for Sunni Muslims in Cape Town in 1945. It organises the overwhelming majority of Sunni religious scholars or oelema [ar. 'ulamā'] in Cape Town. See Lubbe, The MJC, pp. 62-65. Sjeg Gabriels had a background as an imam in Portlands in Mitchell's Plain, one of the Coloured areas worst affected by drugs in Cape Town. Cassiem has played a central role in the Islamic Unity Convention (IUC), an organisation rival to the MJC, since its establishment in 1994.

Pillay, 'Experts, Terrorists, Gangsters', p. 301 is critical of what he characterises as 'the class-derived binary', which he claims represents PAGAD as a 'middle-class versus working-class' phenomenon, in spite of the fact that 'the most ardent supporters of PAGAD are from overwhelmingly working-class areas'. While I agree with the general tenor of Pillay's argument, I would argue that the class composition of PAGAD members and supporters is an empirical question, and that the answer to it may have varied between Coloured communities in Cape Town. Furthermore, bearing in mind the historically porous nature of class distinctions in Coloured communities in Cape Town the fact that a person comes from an overwhelmingly working-class area need not necessarily imply that he/she is of working-class background.

MJC-affiliated oelema took to condemning Shias as kaafiers [ar. kuffar] - the Arabic for infidels, unbelievers. See Esack, 'Three Strands', p. 484.

In fiqh, Islamic jurisprudence, a distinction is drawn between fard kifāyah and fard 'ayn. The latter refers to obligations that are mandatory upon each and every individual Muslim, whereas the former refers to an obligation that needs to be performed by a sufficient number of Muslims, but not by every individual Muslim. It seems plausible that Cassiem deliberately avoids a more precise terminology here

The final appeals to the Constitutional Court were based on an allegation that the Supreme Court of Appeal had acted unconstitutionally in not developing the doctrine of 'common purpose' on which the men had initially been convicted, and that the rights of one of the accused had been violated by the police in Mekaar upon his arrest in 1998.

Toyi-toyi is a quasi-military dance, characterised by high movements of the feet performed while moving slowly forward and chanting or singing. Adopted by anti-apartheid activists in the 1980s, it may have been introduced by ANC activists who had undergone military training in Zimbabwe. (Cape Town, Oxford University Press, )

See Jeppie, 'Islam, Narcotics and Defiance', p. 223. One Muslim informant matter-of-factly noted in an interview that 'Reading the papers, I've noted that a lot of the gangsters and drug-lords in Cape Town are in fact Muslims'.
