From the lineage and heritage that define our sense of belonging to the historical paths that facilitated cultural exchange and economic growth, we’ll journey through time and space to understand the profound impact of these elements.

The Cape Family Research Forum (CFRF), a dedicated group of amateur historians who are passionate about uncovering and preserving the rich history of Cape Town’s families. Founded by Hajie Shamiel Gamildien, the CFRF is a registered Heritage NGO based on the Cape Flats.

In this episode we explore the fascinating interplay between ancestral roots and trading/migration routes. We’ll uncover how these two distinct, yet interconnected concepts have shaped our identities, cultures, and histories.

And what better place to anchor our discussion than Cape Town, a city that stands as a testament to the convergence of diverse cultures and histories.

Guests: Boeta Moegamat Kamedien – Researcher at the Cape Family Research Forum
