The Claremont Main Road Mosque (CMRM) and the St Saviour’s Anglican Church in Claremont will be leading a Walk of Remembrance this Heritage Day.
Claremont Main Road Masjid’s Imam Rashied Omar said he hopes the day will evoke remembrance, nostalgia and the need to record oral history – and for this history and their struggles to be recognised and, in some cases, gain restitution.
“The group needed institutional support and the church and mosque happened to be the oldest buildings and institutions in the area, both established in 1854,” said Omar. “The significance of the walk is the coming together of two religious institutions in Claremont, namely Claremont Main Road Mosque and St Saviour’s Anglican Church, to remember with our congregants their heritage.
