Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Auwal Mosque, alternatively spelled Awwal, Owal or Owwal, is a mosque in the Bo-Kaap neighbourhood of Cape Town, South Africa, recognised as the first mosque established in the country. It was constructed in 1794 during the first British occupation of the Cape on land belonging to Coridon van Ceylon, a Vryezwarten (freed Black Muslim slave). Coridon's daughter, Saartjie van de Kaap, inherited the property that was being used as a warehouse, and donated it for the use as South Africa's first mosque. The mosque was constructed in 1794 with renovations done in 1907 and extensive renovations done in 1936. It is the first mosque to observe public prayers and is where Cape Muslim traditions and the Arabic-Afrikaans language were first taught. It remains a symbol for Muslims of the recognition of Islam and the freedom of slaves to worship.

Summary from Deutsch / German Wikipedia (dewiki)

Die Auwal-Moschee, arabisch المسجد الأول, gilt als älteste Moschee Südafrikas. Ihr Grundstein wurde in der niederländischen Kapkolonie 1794 gelegt, noch vor der durch die Briten gewährten Religionsfreiheit.
