CONSTANTIA, CAPE TOWN

Constantia is one of the oldest townships of Cape Town and is famed for its
wine, history and exclusive property.  The estate of Groot Constantia (Great
Constantia) was established in 1685 by the Dutch Colonial Governor of Cape Town,
 Simon van der Stel. Other notable wine farms in the area include the oldest
estate, Steenberg (Mountain of Stone), established in 1682, Buitenverwachting
(Beyond Expectations), Klein Constantia (Small Constantia) and Constantia
Uitsig (View of Constantia). Before the twentieth century, the region was noted
for its exports of Vin de Constance a sweet dessert wine. Many years ago the
trade was crippled by the arrival in the Cape of a parasite that attacked the
vines.

In 1661, during the Dutch conquest of Sumatra, Sheik Abdurachman Matebe Shah and
his companion Sheikh Mahmoud were exiled to Constantia by the Dutch. Sheik
Abdurachman is regarded as one of the three people that first brought Islam to
South Africa.  The kramat at Klein Constantia is built on the site that Sheik
Abdurachman is thought to have died in 1681 or 1682.
