Rawsonville:    Tuan Masud

There are also other Kramats around the Western Cape of whose history very little is known. At Worcester, along the road leading from Rawsonville, the grave of Tuan Masud is to be found. Legend has it that an artisan, working and sleeping in a tent at a building site at Worcester, was one night awoken by a voice, calling the name "Masud" and beckoning him to come outside. He obliged and saw a man on a white horse who requested the artisan to follow him, He did so for a time until they reached a certain spot. The man and the horse disappeared. He returned to his tent and went back to sleep. Next morning, when he went to investigate, he found the grave on the spot the man and the horse had disappeared.

Tuan Masud

What is known is that Worcester already had a Muslim slave population early in its existence and that a mosque was built there in 1885, one of the earliest mosques to be built outside of Cape Town. Tuan Masud was probably one of the dearly Muslim slaves forced to work on the farms around Worcester.
