SOUTH AFRICA - Cape Town - 5 May 2019 - Jihan Kaisi speaks about Syrian and Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. She was invited by the NGO, Africa Muslims Agency to speak at Zeenatul Islam Masjid Hall about her voluntary aid work at the Lebanon refugee camps. The presentation was an emotional one with some audience members moved to tears.
In District Six, different traditions and faiths were respected. Thus residents were familiar with the ringing of church bells for those who adhered to the Christian faith, as well as the call of the Athaan for Muslims, he said. According to media reports, a single “noise pollution” complaint had been lodged with the city, which was obliged in terms of the law to investigate. However, the city had tweeted that this would be done after Ramadan and the call to worship would not be stopped.
The call to prayer still existed today and the masjid had become part of the social fabric of the greater Cape Town area, together with the churches that remained and were also resistant to the apartheid government.
