Kaamilah2022-04-30Such a beautiful essay. Your writing really emphasised the hurt felt by those whose loved ones have passed on, but very heartwarming how the generations that still live, want to carry on these beautiful traditions.
I truly love the imagery as well.
Amina Bardien Soeker2022-04-30Fabulous, masterpiece, Zubayr! Keep celebrating Ramadan tradition in Dorp Street and wherever your path leads to.
This is my 1st Ramadan without my daddy, who returned to Allah 29th April 2022, 30th Shabban 1443. Janatul Firdous upon my parents, Ismail
Willa Boezak2022-04-30Die feit dat Krotoa, gedoop Eva, 'n lidmaat vd NGK was en in 2016 vereer in die Groote Kerk, maak voortgaande gesprekke met die VGK dwingender. Tog bly die Belydenis van Belhar 'n skynbaar onoorbrugbare kloof.
Shamiega2022-04-30Maa shaa Allah. What a beautiful piece. This took me down memory lane in my own community in Salt River. May Allah SWT allow this beautiful tradition to continue amongst all the generations to follow.
Ihlaam E2022-04-30This is so wholesome and heart warming!
Amazing piece Zubayr.

Somaya Davids2022-04-30Wow, Zuby. This article really took me down memory lane. Always miss Bokaap when it comes to Ramadaan. A place where traditions are being carried out. The air is literally entangled with the aroma of spices and all things nice. That loving and caring neig
Neels Nöthling2022-04-30Sy was absoluut skittrend, sekerlik die beste literator in poësie, niemand kon 'n gedig soos sy ontleed en verklaar nie. Was 'n voorreg om een van haar studente te wees.
Akhule Narwele2022-04-30I love how you took us into the Islam religion. It was very interesting and I love the relationship the community in Bo Kaap has.
Mogamat KAMEDIEN2022-04-30Baie boeiende stukkie leesstof - puik werkstuk. Die uitstekende artikel neem die leser saam op 'n kultuurtoer wat Ramadaan net voor boekatyd beteken vir die die talentvolle skywer en sy bure in Dorpstraat, te Bokaap.
Brato Malgas2022-04-29Maar die vraag wat soos 'n pal bo water staan: Kan ons daardie brûe oorsteen sonder om oor jou rug te kyk? Te bang om jou mede swart of wit broer te vertrou? Word ek waardeer vir die rol wat ons in Apartheid gespeel het as die NG Sendingkerk, tans die VG
Graham Sonnenberg2022-04-29Thank you for bringing Mary Renault back into the public eye. It’s so sad that such a famous writer is all but forgotten in South Africa where she wrote most of her books and supported the arts in Cape Town for decades.

Mooi dag!
Albe Grobbelaar2022-04-29Baie dankie hiervoor, Burgert. Ek was glad nie bewus van hierdie spesifieke ontwikkeling nie. Dis ’n nuwe wêreld. Hoogs interessant. (Ek is nou baie lus om Replika af te laai ...)
Faldeelah Valentyne2022-04-29Mashaa allah, Mr Charles
The nostalgia of reliving my childhood memories, brought a tear to my eyes 😢, praying that our next generation would live out this tradition of neighbourly love and caring, in shaa allah ameen. May Allah bless you abundantly a
Megan2022-04-29Hi, this is Megan, former resident in Dorp Street. It has been six years since we have moved from Dorp Street and till this day my children want to know when are we going home. My neighbors made our stay feel like we had family living around us as myself
