Unpacking AL JAMA AH

--:--
Did you know the Muslim community was involved in South African liberation struggle during Apartheid? At the time, the community was a minority group and it was difficult for their voices to be heard. Bafana Modise chats with Thapelo Amad, Johannesburg’s former mayor. He’s now a councillor for Al Jama Ah who also serves as a chairperson of a section 79 oversight portfolio committee on governance and other activities within the party. On this episode of the podcast they talk about his personal experience within the muslim community, how Al Jama Ah is positioned as a religious party in modern politics as an inclusive organisation and the party’s principles when collaborating with other political parties amongst others.
