Forgotten race rings a bell The Kaffir community recently became a topic in Parliament when questions were raised about their status in Sri Lankan society by MP Buddhika Pathirana. Industry and Commerce Deputy Minister Nimal Lansa assured that steps have been taken to ensure that the Kaffir community is given equal rights as other Sri Lanka citizens. Minister Lansa further said that members of this community were given all rights while their culture had also been recognized as one that should be preserved. Thirty five Kaffir families live in Puttalam now while a few members live in the Galle and Hambantota district as well. Referred to as Kaffirs or Kapiri in Sinhala, their origin is in Mozambique with an Afro-Portuguese heritage. The community of friendly people with ready smiles, distinctive curly hair and African facial features greeted Nation journalist Dimuthu Attanayake and photojournalist Mushtaq Thasleem recently when they visited a Kaffir community in Sirambadiya, Puttalam. http://bit.ly/2gEjd8p #lka By Dimuthu Attanayake
