These communities are typically located in a township that

has a jamaat ghana or masjid.

SANZAF elects to perform Qurbani in these communities so

that they too can participate in the ceremony and gain a

deeper appreciation and understanding of Eid-ul-Adha.

Operation Qurbani thus also serves as a form of dawah to

the rest of the community who witness the sacrifice and

they learn about the significance of Prophet Ibrahim.

Developing Tomorrow's Leaders

Youth Serving The Community

Although SANZAF Gauteng does not have a formal

volunteer programme, it plays host to several volunteers

(mainly youth) form various schools and institutions

throughout the year.

High school learners who need to earn community hours for

university admission or as part of their school project often

approach SANZAF.

SANZAF also attracts a larger

number of volunteers for

initiatives such as Mandela

D a y , d r u g a w a r e n e s s

campaigns and Arbour Day,

albeit specifically for the

occasion.

High School learners from

SANZAF's TADA (Teenagers

Against Gangster Abuse)

Programme also joined over

100 learners in painting a

message in preparation for a

d r u g a w a r e n e s s m a r c h

through the streets of Vlakfontein and Zakariyya Park

(South of Johannesburg) on Youth Day on 16 June.

A group of learners also commemorated the launch of the

SANZAF Vodacom Career Education Programme with a

tree planting ceremony.

Experiential Learning Opportunities

SANZAF Gauteng is currently hosting three Management

Sciences students as interns who assist with various

administration tasks as well training.

The trio approached SANZAF to apply for intern positions

after Moulana Hasan Evans, Head of SANZAF's

Entrepreneurship Centre, presented information about

the centre at the University of Johannesburg.

Five months into their

internship, one of the

students embraced Islam

after learning about the

various SANZAF projects

and programmes.

It was the teachings of

charity in Islam as well as

the nature of the work

SANZAF does that led him

to Islam.

Investing In Human Capital

Many Hands Make Light Work…

In order to better meet the region's needs, SANZAF

Gauteng established its Pretoria office in January 2015

with the support of the local Baitul Maal.

SANZAF also appointed two full-time staff members,

Moulana Hussain Tawildar and Bibi Ayesha Laher, at this

office.

In December 2014, SANZAF Gauteng also appointed

Javed Hoosen as Office Manager.

This appointment forms part of SANZAF's succession

planning as Javed also serves as a trainee-administrator.

Moulana Mogamat Riedwaan Hassan was also appointed

as a full-time caseworker. Now the region is better

equipped to meet the demands of and improve the

efficiency of SANZAF Gauteng's welfare and casework.
