Muslims have special obligations in terms of the shariah towards refugees and on the occasion of “ Africa Day” AL JAMA-AH which has a mandate from thousands of Muslims who voted for the Party during the 2009 elections will lobby for South Africa to more fully comply with its obligations in terms of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Refugees. This should also be included in the school curriculum. The City of Cape Town and its City Fathers missed an opportunity during the past year to show the world the true compassionate nature of its citizens and should have done more to help refugees with their plight. This should be a key Manifesto point in the run up to the 2011 Municipal elections.

‘MA Slams’
Democracy is not consolidating and deepening in the Western Cape as claimed by analysts and the recent win for the DA is not sustainable and it is just a result of a knee jerk reaction by the voters of the Western Cape previously disenfranchised and a determined effort of those voters who always had the vote who all came out to vote. The Afrikaner whites were very comfortable under Mandela and Thabo Mbeki as they became four times richer under an ANC government. With a Zuma government English speaking whites are going to catch up as the influence of Stellenbosch University whizz kids in the Treasury and the Reserve bank will wane and the English legal eagles who helped Zuma get off the hook call in the chips on behalf of their interest group.
