Mrs. Sampson invited me over for dinner. She took me over to her parents' house in Ocean View. Her father was the tailor for the navy (see naval badges bellow).
Mrs. Sampson and her family are part of the Cape Malay community in this area. According to Wikepedia, the Cape Malay community i san ethnic group in South Africa, taking its name from what i snow known as the Western Cape of South Africa and the people originally from the Malay archipelago, mostly Javanese from Indonesia, who arated this community in South Africa. The community's earliest members were slaves brought by the Dutch East India Company. They are the group that first introduced Islam to South Africa.
