📍 Hidden Histories in Cape Town

At the Mowbray Muslim Cemetery lie the graves of 13 Commonwealth soldiers men from South Africa, West Africa, and the Indian subcontinent whose stories remain largely untold.

Buried among the local Muslim community and laid to rest according to Islamic rites, their presence speaks to a powerful legacy of faith, service, and belonging that transcends borders.

This site is more than a cemetery it is a quiet testament to shared histories that deserve recognition and remembrance.

Department of Sport, Arts and Culture, in partnership with the Department of Military Veterans, the South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA), and the Missing Persons Task Team, successfully undertook a mission to the Kingdom of Lesotho to map and identify the graves of liberation struggle stalwarts who perished in exile. ⚒️

The visit, which took place from 18–28 February 2026, was supported by the Ministry of Tourism, Sport, Arts and Culture of Lesotho, as well as the South African High Commission in Maseru. The mission marked an important step in locating and documenting the final resting places of the nation’s heroes. 🌍🤝

The team confirmed that they would return to Lesotho for exhumations, a critical process aimed at bringing closure and healing to families who have waited decades to reconnect with their loved ones. ❤️🙏

During the struggle for freedom, Lesotho stood in solidarity with South African activists, offering refuge, safety, and hope often at great sacrifice. This role remains a powerful reminder of unity across borders. ✊🏾🤍

Honouring a Legacy of Courage and Sacrifice

A significant milestone in preserving South Africa’s heritage was marked with the installation of a National Heritage Site plaque at the SS Mendi Memorial on the University of Cape Town lower campus.

The memorial commemorates the 616 members of the South African Native Labour Corps who tragically lost their lives when the SS Mendi sank in the English Channel on 21 February 1917.

Organised by the SAHRA Maritime and Underwater Cultural Heritage Unit, the event brought together representatives from the University of Cape Town (UCT) and the Gunners Association Western Province (GAWP), reflecting a shared commitment to remembrance and honour.

The unveiling formally recognises the memorial’s national significance, ensuring that the story of the SS Mendi and its passengers remains an enduring part of South Africa’s collective memory. Through meaningful collaboration between heritage practitioners, academic institutions, and military organisations, the event underscores the importance of preserving places of remembrance for future generations.
