South africa today is often known as the rainbow nation a Multiracial Society whose 1st black president in 1904 announcing mandela encouraged tolerance equality and harmony among a previously heavily divided people. Mandelas policy was it shot odds with the countrys past a nation in which state sponsored racism in the form of apartheid touched every corner of society leaving a stain of injustice that endured for decades. While the world is familiar with mandelas remarkable story from prisoner to president relatively little is known about some of the other campaigners of the period including one a muslim a preacher and a family man. I grew up with many stories about my grandfather but in my many stories of him as a hero as a mater of fun people would talk about the earthquake and how he inspired many people in the in the antiapartheid struggle especially in the western cape. I grew up with the book the killing of iran and the cover of the book with the man falling down the stairs and they were talking to about him as another era he would have this title so for me as a kid i thought. Must have been an amazing and important man. The man was a man of doing a heroine a Community Leader born in 1923 in the shadow of cape town stable mountain. His was a determined struggle for justice and equality that would eventually cost him his life. The. The. The over 50 years after her own staff muslims in south africa gathered to celebrate the life of the anti apartheid campaign. He rose to prominence in 1955 when aged only 32 he put his name forward to become the youngest ever of cape town jimmy a mosque. It was a man who clearly broke the mold his western appearance shop suit striped shirt with matching cufflinks were hardly traditional dress. Some thought that his modern useful style made him unfit for the role but heroin presented his personal vision and not for the last time won over hearts and minds. What happened was that there was an opportunity at the at the local must. In claremont and many of these positions they have elections and litany you won by a small margin but there were other candidates as well and they say even each father was one will vote against him because they felt age is an important thing. For person to become a new mom they did not consider knowledge and it was them as important things they considered age as an important thing but. Theyre more on he had a far more wisdom and far more insight than even the older ones that existed then kept on. The young hit the ground running setting up Adult Education classes chairing debates and breathing new life into the mosques busy weekly activities today south africa has its societal problems but the 1960 s. Were very different times the White NationalParty Government introduced apartheid a system of institutionalized racial segregation a divided South Africans racially dictating their Political Economic and social rights the minority whites population dominated the majority of black africans who had few rights under apartheid indians and mixed race people socalled coloreds had some additional privileges if you want to understand what is a path and look at use of a occupied palestine its a simpler community but came from outside they both infrastructure and very efficient infrastructure as well and now that we own the land we are going to hear. What a party did was it which was white on the one side very considered nonwhite its not a term that i expect except because nonwhite means you are a non person. But for the sake of reference to the nonwhite and further divide them into 3 basically groups africans or as they do for them as natives. And indians and they give each obvious 3 groups different or litter privileges so the indians were probably the most privilege of the 3 groups then we had become and then we had to be africans would make. Many Muslim Leaders in south africa known as the opted not to campaign actively against apartheid preparing not to rock the political but. Muslims in apartheid. Where are for a long period. They did not take a very political stand they were rather loyal in loyalty to the ruling system there is an interesting. Quotation that is. Written in the muslim news this is a religion was the newspaper in 64 and they wrote. Has the government or britain the worship of a large and the spreading of islam has the government closed down or ordered the the demolishment of any mosque in a declared wide area if the government has ordered us to us as muslims to deserve the faith of our forefathers than our all amar would have been the 1st to urge us to resist even to death. And youre welcome to voice became drivetime options important follicle university of western cape receives grant mo gender equity and weekly africa report not to fire to margaret how he while youre on whats happening in fact the interesting thing about him on whole room that when he started to become politically aware and when he started to talk about Political Awareness and remember Political Awareness in suffolk and in those those was about basic human rights unfortunately and this is a big blot on our community a lot of the allam of the time a lot of the Community Elders of the time told him to keep quiet they said he was going and doing things that was going to cause trouble. But rather than avoiding trouble the young man had ruined seemed to attract it. And the Mass Community devoted a lot of time and effort to helping local poor and underprivileged families. And gave special attention to families whose breadwinners had been forced into exile or had died fighting the Apartheid Regime his focus was on seeking justice and speaking out against a whole range of unfair treatment. I think one when needs to 1st of all look at the him arms political activism. It didnt just suddenly happen where you realize you know there is a political struggle and i have to get involved. It was a process for the mom as well and the process started when the mom because of his social justice conscience he was a man who had empathy for people who were suffering people that were afflicted in his own community in his own jemma as in the mom and peace to be a Sales Representative for a company that used to sell sweets and used to go into the townships and hes to see the conditions in the townships and he started interacting with the people. He was. A consultant one would say to this Company Called around trees and that this gave them the opportunity to be able to go into the different townships use opportunity yes just sell them jackets you know they probably have shops but you also use opportunity to find out what is happening to the families of the of the people that has been arrested and in prison without trial or they just disappear without a trace. And you use this opportunity. To. Deepen his political circles and also contacting and the fellating self to what was currently happening. As the South African authorities became increasingly aware of her own spiritual activism the threat to his personal safety also group a man who ruined contacted an emerging Political Opposition Movement the pan african is congress. The p. E. A. C. E. Like the opposition African National congress was heavily opposed to south africas notorious pass laws these dictated that black people had to carry identity documents at all times which controlled their movements and access to work they became one of the most hated aspects of apartheid laws. Meanwhile heroin began to look politically beyond his own Muslim Community. Well it was all of those people who said that we are all human beings. That we must embrace each other that when we suffer we suffer together so not only did. Turn thin the barrier of mother that he actually brought people together from different backgrounds he ignored and was not interested in whether you were from india or you were from malaysia or from africa that was not important for you. As anti apartheid resistance image it would not be long before it boiled over into violence the 21st of march 1960 was about to carve itself tragically into South African history the pan african is Congress Called for a demonstration against the pass laws a crowd gathered to express their resistance to the pass laws of the township of shan fill in the old transvaal province the day started peacefully but as many as 7000 protesters gathered in front of the Police Station just after 1 pm there was an articulation between the officer in charge and the demonstration leaders there were 168. 00 police and they opened fire. Chaos ensued by the end of the day 69. 00 demonstrators lay dead and hundreds more were injured what we now know as a sharp film massacre became a notorious event in south africas troubled history abdulahad roun was not shot phil however those close to him states that the massacre moved him to intensify his resistance to apartheid firstly had challenges with the nice community. But clearly many people were aware that this man was not moving in comfortable circles that not only were these against the upper Big Government but that he was actually actively working to bring them down by the 1960 but the government had already banned 2 of the Major Political organizations meaning it was illegal to be a member of the social message is one of those points in our history that separates that stands as a beacon of chair of the challenge to be a Big Government so when. Joined up with and heres the interesting thing you work closely with these people you never joined organizations was very close with them but they are part of the government when you saw the those people are from the beggar immediately associated with them. Some 6 months later in october 960. 00 there was a referendum bris tricked it to white voters on whether south africa should break its ties with britain and become a republic. South africa had been a member of the British Commonwealth since 1926 as a selfgoverning dominion of the british entirety. It was a beta Divisive Campaign the republican side united under the slogan to reunite and keep south africa white. The result was close to narrow victory for the governing whites National Party of henriks award with a referendum having now only passed the republic of south africa was constituted on the 31st of may 1961 the majority black population reacted with horror as 3 day general strike was called which the man haroun supported by encouraging muslims to fast for 3 days of peaceful protest. Action was remarkable at a time when few muslims in south africa opposed the government so overtly just wanted to make sure the well being are taken care of but this also opened his eyes and his mind into what was happening and now call the gov apartheid government was during the time of our party and with my fathers involvement with the African People in in a younger girl or 2 he obviously made to work brothers that saw how he. Communicated with them and i remember my mother always used to say that. When we were living in the semi area not in this particular ours but in a different house they used to come and visit my father many times at the house or many times they will come and my father will take them away. Throughout the 1960 s. Mom haroon continued to live a double life outwardly he was a religious and Community Leader a family man but at the same time he was a committed political activists opposing south africas Apartheid Regime whenever possible. Ok surely these 2 roles combined as they did in 1968 when he went on a pilgrimage to islams holiest city mecca from there he traveled to cairo and onwards to london where he met the leadership in exile of south africas opposition groups he also developed close ties with a Christian Organisation and channeled money from british sympathizers to support families of political detainees and victims of the shot the massacre when it came in a land in the middle with a priest by the name of canon john cullen and this man was the need of an organization that channeled money into south africa and gave money particularly to the families of those people who were detained and their party and he found in. A unutterable and honest men with whom you could convey the money and support people and so you mom became and as a direct challenge to be a puppet government they saw that if we arrest the father of this house and comes in brings food to bad house he pays there in he looks after the children and then they are defeated and so theyve been very angry about the man continued to help especially those people who are in prison on the Robben Island and in various prisons you see this newspaper which shows another part of his life which he was a travel specialist you build up this. This image of this bird whose father political activist. He worked for wilson wrote truth but very curiously hes also like a travel specialist so what is he doing for me hes hustling grown hes just like doing a member of pigs in order to. There together out the people maybe it was a way for him to travel. Towards the end of his london trip Abdullah Haroon received news that the soft African Security services
