    INSIDE PARLIAMENT WITH HON. GANIEF HENDRICKS Wednesay | 29 April 2020 INSIDE PARLIAMENT VIA VIRTUAL MEETINGS Since the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic spread to South Africa and in all corners of the world, the past few weeks have affected South Africans in ways never experienced before. All educational institutions, places of worship, businesses, places of recreation, and others were shut down to help flatten the curve of the Coronavirus. The South African Parliament had to continue through all this and thus came about the VIRTUAL MEETINGS, to allow the law makers to carry on with business as usual forcing South Africans to make use of online media, television and radio to stay up to date with the latest news on the Disaster Management Covid-19 Lockdown Regulations announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa during March this year. 1. AL JAMA-AH SUPPORTS LOCKDOWN REGULATIONS AL JAMA-AH fully supported the lockdown declared by the President and called on Muslims and the wider community to obey the lockdown Regulations to help flatten the curve of the virus. 2. AL JAMA-AH CONDEMNS THE “CONCENTRATION CAMP” FOR HOMELESS PEOPLE AL JAMA-AH criticized the DA-led City of Cape Town for refusing admission to the party’s journalist, Fuad Rahman and it’s councillors from visiting the notoriously known, “concentration camp” in Strandfontein for 1 500 homeless people. The DA denied entry to the “concentration camp” to members of opposition parties and community activists. The City of Cape Town’s Law Enforcements barred ANC Member of Parliament, Hon Faiez Jacobs who brought priests and imams to the site to offer them spiritual guidance and to inquire on their welfare.

    INSIDE PARLIAMENT WITH HON. GANIEF HENDRICKS Thursday | 23 April 2020 ALJAMA-AH CELEBRATES 13 YEARS Today we celebrate the 13th year of the formation of the Al Jama-ah, a political party for all communities. Al Jama-ah was formed on the 23rd April 2007 by its President Ganief Hendricks who is also the party’s leader in Parliament. Al Jama-ah made history when it became the only and first Muslim political party in South Africa to win a seat in National Parliament and in the Western Cape Legislature in 2019. Although AL JAMA-AH is physically unable to celebrate its 13th anniversary due to the Covid-19 lockdown, the party has enough reason to be proud of several achievements made over the past few years. The party has also a total of nine municipal councillor seats, in the Western Cape, KwaZulu Natal and in Gauteng. Despite being looked at as a “small” party, Al Jama-ah has a much bigger role to play not only in the Muslim community, but in All communities, hence our logo: “A Political Platform For All”. This year Al Jama-ah’s anniversary will be focused on assisting the government to fight the Covid-19 pandemic. Party leader and founding member, Ganief Hendricks says: “We have embarked on help fighting Covid-19 on every level possible, and with every available member and volunteers in remembering our 13 years of existence as a political party. Our fight against the Coronavirus is much bigger than a birthday celebration. Hendricks grew up in a very politically active household and since a young age his parents tagged him along to political meetings and to visit political prisoners.

  • Muslim Community Horrified at Desecration of Graves
    SOUTH AFRICA Muslim community horrified at desecration of graves By Tessa Knight • 1 November 2019 (https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/insider/? utm_source=DM_Website&utm_medium=badge) ! Most of the desecrated tombstones have been claimed after headstones from fresh graves in the Mowbray Muslim cemetery in Cape Town … Tessa Knight Subscribe 115k 22 Reactions # Follow On 30 October, workers at the Mowbray Muslim Cemetery came to work " More on a normal day, with seven burials scheduled to take place. Instead, they (https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/author/tessa- found approximately 70 headstones removed from fresh graves and knight/) placed into the shape of a cross, while others were placed into dug-out holes in the shape of a triangle. DISPLAY ADVERTS Listen to this article 4:47 For the last three days, relatives with loved ones buried in the Mowbray Muslim Cemetery have travelled there to see if the tombstones of their deceased relative was desecrated. Some time on Tuesday night, vandals broke into the cemetery and moved tombstones from site X at the top of the hill and out of sight of anyone walking by. At night, the cemetery is pitch black – there are no lights on the land, no street lights nearby, and no security staff to look after the area. “This cemetery is old, maybe 130 years old now, and nothing like this has happened before. Nothing, ever,” said Neematola Hendricks, treasurer of the Mowbray Muslim cemetery board. On Thursday there were family members milling around, looking at the tombstones resting against the Ad cemetery walls. (The original scene was documented before workers moved the headstones so family members would not see them laid out).

    INSIDE PARLIAMENT WITH HON. GANIEF HENDRICKS Thursday | 23 April 2020 AL JAMA-AH CALLS ON POLICE TO ACT WITH RESTRAINT AL JAMA-AH has made an urgent appeal to the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta), Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma to issue a statement on the Amended Regulations on the sale of cooked meals and the free distribution thereof. This followed as the Parliamentary National Constituency Office of Al Jama-ah’s Covid-19 Team 24 hotlines received several calls from NGOs, community activists and individuals inquiring on the Regulations pertaining on the distribution of cooked meals to the needy. The inquiries followed the arrest of a community worker, Tauhierah John and another person, who served soup to several needy children in Capricon on behalf of a local NGO, Where Rainbows Meet. The arrests caused panic amongst several other community organisations and activists who have been feeding the needy since the start of the Lockdown. Another non-profit organisation who requested the services of its Hub in Delft to distribute bread to needy communities, were informed by their local councillor to stop the distribution as they, the Hub were not registered. Although we recognise members of the South African Police Services have a duty to maintain law and order Al Jama-ah is also concerned about some Metro police harsh action against community activists who feed the poor with hot meals. The President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa commended South Africans for opening their hearts to each other. We would like to see this spirit of helping one another to continue without activists having to fear arrest and police harassment.

  • 2019 GENERAL ELECTIONS in SOUTH AFRICA Political Parties
    2019 GENERAL ELECTIONS IN SOUTH AFRICA Political Parties Contesting the 2019 Elections Residents cast their votes during the Nquthu by-election at Springlake High School on May 24, 2017 in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. (Photo by Gallo Images / The Times / Thuli Dlamini) The IEC announced that a record 48 political parties have successfully registered to contest the 2019 general elections. Most have been formed recently, suggesting that many see an opportunity to capitalise on voter uncertainty after the Zuma years. Noteworthy, too, is the number of religious parties — with churches hoping to turn congregant numbers into political power. In the first of a two-part series, we take a brief look at the parties appearing on the ballot sheet in May. African Christian Democratic Party Launched in 1993, one of the ACDP’s unique claims to fame is that it was the only party to reject the South African Constitution — on the basis that it enshrined the right to abortion. Supports a return to “biblical principles”, including the imposition of the death penalty. Led by Dr Kenneth Meshoe, the ACDP received just over 104,000 votes nationally in the 2014 elections, giving it three seats in the National Assembly. African Congress of Democrats No information is available. Confusingly, there is a Namibian opposition party of the same name; and the South African Congress of Democrats was an anti-apartheid organisation run by radical white lefties. African Content Movement The ACM was launched in December 2018 by former SABC chief operations officer Hlaudi Motsoeneng. As per the party’s name, which refers to Motsoeneng’s policy of promoting local content at the SABC, the party will have a special focus on protecting creative artists.

The state’s failure in the province to provide safety to communities undermined the constitution. Moreover, many died (currently estimated at 337) in the looting and due to racist vigilante violence. Phoenix (estimated at 36 killed, 33 Africans and 3 Indians) and several other communities have been polarised due to such unlawful action. Trauma, suspicion and fear haunt many communities. Moreover, many of these communities have felt excluded due to high unemployment, poverty and inequality. The July violence was a spark in a powder keg of discontent.
