Indo-Cape Islander

Indentured labourers from the Indian subcontinent began arriving as early as the late-19th century, many who are Muslim, Sikhs and Hindus from the Punjab, Gujarat and Bengal.

Many of the Muslim Indo-Cape Islander community have their origins in what is now-modern day Pakistan and Bangladesh; in regions such as Rawalpindi, Lahore and Faisalabad in the Pakistani Punjab and Sylhet in Bangladesh.
