According to reports, a single 'noise pollution' complaint had been lodged with the City of Cape Town, which was obliged in terms of the law to investigate.
Cape Town - The African National Congress in the Western Cape has urged the City of Cape Town to dismiss a noise complaint made against the Zeenatul Islam Masjid in District Six.
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 Ramadaan and the call to worship would not be stopped.
The call to prayer still existed today and the mosque 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.
