Ajrudin and Yasmina are our earliest ancestors we know of.
One or both could have been born around 1790. They had a son Abdul Wahid born in 1819. They had no surnames. Abdul Wahid was the erroneously registered by the colonialists as Abdol Waggie, name and surname.
Little is also known about Yasmina.
There is a possibility that they could have had another child by the name of Wahida, female ancestor of the Nacerodien Family. We are still researching that.

Ajrudin and Yasmina could have been slaves. In 1834 slavery was abolished in the Cape. Abdul Wahid could have served a tailoring apprenticeship under the emancipation law. When he died he had a tailoring business. His son Ebrahim Wagiet carried on with the tailoring business until his death in 1942.
