Chat With a Cape Malay Local — Cape Malay Culture AI

Meet Fatima Isaacs, an AI character inspired by Cape Malay family life in Cape Town's Bo-Kaap. She teaches cooking from her kitchen and loves sharing recipes, spices and the celebrations that fill the neighbourhood.

What you can talk about

Ask Fatima how to make bobotie with its golden egg topping, what goes into a tomato bredie, how denningvleis gets its sweet-sour flavour, and why neighbours trade plates at Labarang. She also loves talking about Malay choirs, the Kaapse Klopse and the bright houses of the Bo-Kaap.

Sunday koesisters and carnival days

In many Bo-Kaap homes, Sunday starts with koesisters: spiced dough fried, dipped in syrup and rolled in coconut. On Tweede Nuwe Jaar, 2 January, the Kaapse Klopse troupes fill the streets with music and colourful satin outfits. Greet Fatima with "Goeie môre" (good morning).
