Situated at the foot of Signal Hill, on the fringe of the city centre, the Bo-Kaap’s origins date back to the 1760s. The houses were built and leased to slaves. These people were brought from Malaysia, Indonesia and the rest of Africa to work in the Cape. They later became known as Cape Malays. When the houses were leased to the slaves, they had to be white. When slavery was abolished and the occupants were allowed to buy the properties, all the houses were painted bright colours as an expression of their freedom.
