Sheikh Noorul Mubeen
Of the three prominent Auliyah buried on the hills facing the Atlantic seaboard, the one nearest to Oudekraal, appears to be the better known. The saint buried there is Sheikh Noorul Mubeen, who was apparently banished to the Cape in 1716 and incarcerated on Robben Island. His grave is reached by ascending the 99 steps leading to it from Victoria Road up the mountain slope. |
