Güney Afrika ve Ümit Burnu 15. asrın sonlarından itibaren; Portekiz, Hollanda, İngiltere gibi Batılı ülkelerin sömürgesi olmuş ve bulunduğu coğrafi konum sebebiyle de sömürgecilerin dikkatini her daim üzerine çekmiştir. Bölgede yaşayan Müslümanların varlığının ise 16. asra kadar dayandığı bilinmektedir. Yine Osmanlı Devleti’nin 16. asır ve sonrasında Uzakdoğu, Cava ve Güney Afrika dolayları ile ilgilendiği ve ilişki kurmaya çalıştığı bilinmektedir. Osmanlı Devleti’nin bu bölge ile doğrudan ilişkisi ise 19. asırda bölge Müslüman halkının ve İngiltere’nin talepleri üzerine Osmanlı Devleti’nin Ebubekir Efendi’yi göndermesiyle gerçekleşmiştir. Çeşitli dini konularda ihtilafa düşen ve kendi aralarında çatışan Müslümanlar çareyi İngiltere aracılığı ile Osmanlı’dan bir alim istemekte bulmuşlardı. Bu gelişmeler üzerine Güney Afrika’ya gönderilen Ebubekir Efendi 1862 yılında Cape Town’a ulaşmış ve Müslüman halk arasındaki ihtilafları çözmeye çalışmıştır. Güney Afrika tarihinde Osmanlı Devleti’nin ve gönderdiği Ebubekir Efendi’nin izleri bugün dahi canlılığını korumaktadır. Ebubekir Efendi’nin yolculuğu ve Ümit Burnu’nda yaptığı faaliyetler Osmanlı Devleti’nin bölgeye yönelik etkilerini anlamak bakımından önem arz etmektedir.
