ECHOES OF THE WEMBLEY CALENDAR, 25 YEARS ON

Having worked on the famous Wembley Calendar for 25 years, I can confidently say that the late Abdullah Gangraker, its originator and pioneer, was a man of rare vision and a stickler for quality and detail. From humble beginnings in a Belgravia Road family store established by his parents in 1931, he rose by hard work to head a successful enterprise, the Wembley Group, named after the famous football stadium. It grew from a greengrocer into an iconic supermarket and Roadhouse, then a butchery, a bakery and other businesses. Social projects, such as the Groote Schuur Hospital golf cart, the Wembley Eye Clinic, sports sponsorship, educational support and mosque construction, would follow. However, there is one long-standing project that will forever mark Abdullah Gangraker’s considerable legacy. It is, without doubt, the annual Wembley calendar, something he initiated and took great pride in, distributing it free throughout the Western Cape.

I do not say this because I have had the privilege of working on the calendar project for 25 years, but because it gave me the opportunity to witness its impact. It was his close friend, Dr Abdul Wahhab Barday, who approached me in 1994 at the time of the Tricentenary about shooting a calendar for Wembley. “We’re thinking of doing an aerial view of Shaikh Yusuf’s karamat,” said the irrepressible doctor. On discussing the project, I soon discovered that Abdullah Gangraker was a gracious, but meticulous man – and, most importantly, one who trusted me. As someone who hates mediocrity, I think we spoke the same language. But what struck me most was his openness to innovation. If hanging from the open door of a helicopter was what it was going to take to design a calendar, that was what we were going to do. And so, one day we flew over the Macassar karamat of Shaykh Yusuf. We would later also fly over Robben Island.

In the beginning, I would shoot the pics for the calendar, but as its scope grew, we had to widen our horizons and source images internationally. The design and info also started to evolve. From just giving , we began to include a country info page and inspirational quotes, as well as fine tuning the lunar months. To that effect, we began to work with the Johannesburg Planetarium and the Crescent Observer’s Society (COS) to present the most accurate lunar calculations possible. Today, I am proud to say that the Wembley Calendar has become a standard bearer. A great compliment to us was when the Hakim of the Crescent Observer’s Society, Shaykh Seraj Hendricks, said the only calendar he trusted was the Wembley one. Public response has often been heart-warming. People have told us that they collect the calendars as keepsakes. One day, when I gave a calendar we did on Palestine to a Palestinian friend, he kissed it and started crying.

My tribute is not just about the calendar, something that developed into a totally unique Cape institution. No, it’s more about the relationship that I enjoyed with Abdullah Gangraker over the years, and what I learnt whilst we discussed the calendar, which we would often do. “Shafiq-bhai excellence should be a habit,” he told me, “quality is a promise to your customer on all fronts…your goods, your service and your people.”

He told me this whilst cutting a peach and eating it, not because he was hungry, but because a customer had complained about his peaches. He was personally checking. I’m happy to say that the peach passed the test. Whilst the production of the calendar was an exacting process, which took months and involved team work, he was always thankful at the end. And he would always say so. He would write to every person to thank them for their contribution. What I learnt most from Abdullah Gangraker and the calendar was his ethos. He would emphasise that neatness and were the most affordable things. Dreams, however, were expensive – but worth it – in terms of the necessary WEMBLEY CENTRE, 21 BELGRAVIA ROAD, sacrifices to make them come true. One day someone passed a negative remark about one of his competitors. “Don’t talk like that. He is also entitled to his rizq. Allah provides for everybody,” ATHLONE, 7764, CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA he replied. Abdullah Gangraker wanted his calendars to inform people about the , and he was passionate about it. He would say that knowledge in life would empower a person to act better in life. He would say too that without faith there was nothing. “Faith defines you,” he’d advise. Work for him was a passion, a mission. It Tel: +27 21 697-1430 was about doing our best in the sight of .

“Shafiq-bhai, I’ve made mistakes. It’s our faith that puts the light in the darkness Website: www.wembley.co.za of those times. Faith creates a sense of gratitude that keeps us humble, centred in the dunya.” As Abdullah Gangraker wrote in his biography, Wembley Echoes: “…my friends, we live but once. We shall not pass this way again. We only have one life to live and how we choose to do it, is up to us. Often what we do now lives on long after we are gone. These are the echoes we leave behind…”

Indeed, one of these echoes is – without doubt – this edition of the Wembley Calendar, the 25th since those fateful days of 1994.
