Macassar is a small town in South Africa, close to Strand and Somerset West, with an approximate population of 33,225. Administratively it is a suburb of the City of Cape Town. Macassar’s history is closely tied to the Strand, whose inhabitants first settled this area. The kramat (shrine) of Sheikh Yusuf (Tuanta Salamaka) of the Sultanate of Gowa, in present-day Makassar in Indonesia, is a holy place to South Africa's Muslim community. The Sheikh, who was exiled by the Dutch in 1694, came to the Strand area and made it his final resting place; although his followers, who were mainly fishermen, found the sea of Macassar rather uninviting and moved further along the coast to Strand’s Mosterds Bay. After Yusuf died, his followers named the area after his birthplace, spelling it with "c" in pl

After Yusuf died, his followers named the area after his birthplace, spelling it with "c" in place of "k". The Macassar Dunes Conservation Area forms part of the vital coastal dune system, one of the biodiversity hotspots of the Western Cape. These dunes have been impacted by conflicting activities such as cattle grazing and 4X4 vehicle use. Macassar is a predominantly Coloured community close to the Macassar Dunes, whose workers historically are in the fishing and boatmaking industry. (en)
  • Macassar adalah sebuah kota kecil di Afrika Selatan, dekat dan , dengan jumlah penduduk 38.136 jiwa. Sejarah Macassar sangat erat dengan pantai karena dari situlah asal penduduk Macassar. Makam Syeikh Yusuf (Tuanta Salamaka) dari Kesultanan Gowa yang wilayahnya sekarang berada di sekitar kota Makassar adalah salah satu tempat suci bagi masyarakat Muslim Afrika Selatan. Syeikh yang diasingkan oleh Belanda tahun 1694 ini menjadikan daerah pinggiran pantai sebagai tempat peristirahatan terakhirnya yang kemudian dinamakan sesuai tempat lahirnya. Tetap saja, para pengikutnya yang sebagian besar merupakan nelayan menganggap perairan Macassar tidak bersahabat dan pindah ke pesisir Teluk Mosterds di Strand. Macassar Dunes Nature Reserve, di Baden Powell Drive, adalah bagian dari sistem gunung pasir pantai yang penting bagi daerah ini. Cagar alam tersebut merupakan salah satu lokasi keragaman hayati terbesar di Western Cape. Keberadaan pegunungan pasir tersebut terancam oleh aktivitas peternakan dan tur kendaraan 4X4. Penduduk Macassar kebanyakan berkulit hitam dan tinggal dekat Macassar Dunes. Mereka sejak dulu berprofesi sebagai nelayan dan pembuat kapal. Berbeda dengan kota tetangganya, , Macassar memiliki tingkat kejahatan dan penyalahgunaan obat-obatan yang rendah, padahal penyimpangan tersebut lazim ditemukan di sejumlah kota di Western Cape. (in)
