IT’S TIME TO EXPERIENCE
THE AL JAMA-AH EFFECT
The Al Jama-ah Political Party was established in 2007 by its Party Leader, Ganief Hendricks, that instead of finger pointing, Muslims could play a sincere and positive role, contributing to the transformation of post Apartheid South Africa, for the benefit of all South Africans.
The Constitution of South Africa supports the system of a multi party democracy, as opposed to a single party state. According to The African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM), domination of one political party in South Africa will be detrimental to freedom in South Africa.
What is best for South Africa is a diversity of political parties with competing policies.
Al Jama-Ah wants to promote a better understanding of our community’s culture and practices in a multicultural and pluralistic society.
By not sacrificing our own value system, but maintaining our identity, sharing not only our faith, but by how much and what else we have to offer in transforming and restoring balance.
As Muslims, the attitude we take in our role as citizens of this country, will determine our impact and participation in the future. South African Muslims can and must play a vital role by participating in the political arena, shaping the landscape of our country instead of just being mere figures in the landscape.
Al Jama-Ah has great potential to tackle the many social challenges facing the country. South Africa is a nation in the making, and its people have come to accept that we are a multicultural and diverse society.

IN THE MEDIA
AL JAMA-AH:A REFLECTIVE CONVERSATION
In this interview with Hilaal TV, Al Jama’ah leader Deputy Minister of Social Development Ganief Hendricks discusses Al Jama-ah’s 18 year journey.
From small beginnings to 2 seats in parliament.
In this interview President Hendricks unpacks His vision for the way forward, why Al Jama-ah brought the Apartheid Bill to Parliament, the future of the Government of National Unity – and what to expect and how to vote in next year’s Local Government Elections.
AL JAMA-AH OPPOSES RENEWAL OF TIES WITH ISRAEL
The Al Jama-ah party vehemently rejects the FF Plus’s proposal, labelling it an “apartheid activity”. The party’s leader, DM Hendricks asserted that because Israel is a Zionist entity and an apartheid state, supporting such a proposal risks violating the Rome Statute, which is sufficient to criminally charge those supporting apartheid.
The statement went further, condemning members of Parliament who, after a “fact-finding” mission to Israel in early 2025, claimed they found no evidence of apartheid. Al Jama-ah noted that Israel is currently facing war crimes and genocide charges at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Hendricks also said that Al Jama-ah would introduce a Private Members Bill to outlaw such “racist and unpatriotic positions”.
