On 18 July recognised as Mandela Day, Hon Hendricks spent his 67 minutes engaging with members of the Legislative Department of the Masjlisush Shura Al-Islami (Shura) in Cape Town to establish an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) structure for matters relating to Muslim Personal Law (M.P.L).

The 67 minutes engagement with members of Shura served to give effect on the recommendation in the South African Law Reform Commission’s White Paper on a One Statute Marriage Bill for the Muslim and other faith-based communities. The ADR will deal with disputes and matters relating to M.P.L which includes the Nikah (a Muslim marriage in terms of Shariah); Nafakah (Maintenance), Talaqs (Divorces) and other matters which might arise in a marriage.

Hendricks, who have served several decades as an office bearer for Shura, has now drafted a Private Members Bill (PMB) for the ADR. Shura’s Legislative Department will edit the PMB, and they will jointly engage with Parliament’s legislative drafting team. The first reading of the “Amendments to the Arbitration Act” is expected to take place in September 2023 and will make provision for an M.P.L Tribunal/Shariah Court.
