Clash of rival clans Afan Tank Wen's death enabled the Hakkas to question the Cantonese clans' stronghold on political and cultural matters in Port Louis where most people of Chinese origins resided. Soon the three clans started to aggressively fight for leadership over Cohan Tai Biou Pagoda which was regarded as the religious and political headquarters of the Chinese community living in Mauritius. As a result there were frequent violent clashes between members of the rival clans. The pagoda, which is located at Les Salines in Port Louis, is also known as Kwan Tee Pagoda and was bult in 1842, which makes it the oldest such institution in the Southern Hemisphere.
