We recognize that Saarah Mosajee and Amaan Fataar form part of the youngest of the contestants that participated in this event.
 
We recognize that to stand up for humanity and against injustice and oppression as an adult can be difficult and we note that at such a young age it does not come without challenges.
 
We have witnessed those who are not in agreement with supporting Palestine and humanity lashing out and denying youth recognition and we say Not in our name or on our watch!
 
We are very proud of our youth for standing up and working on a cause to assist with aid for those who are suffering the worse atrocities imaginable.
 
The youth is our beacon of hope, and we congratulate the parents of these amazing young girls for their support and guidance to their daughters.
 
May more youth be inspired and motivated by these brave souls and commit to standing up and protecting humanity.
 
Saarah Moosajee and Amaan Fataar parents and family may you and all who participated may you always be under the guidance and protection of the Almighty Ameen
 
From the River to the Sea Palestine will be Free!

Commemorating  77 years of Nakba

Commemorating 77 years of Nakba

Al Jama-ah attended the commemoration of 77 years since the Nakba held at the Castle of Good hope by the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign on the 18th May 2025.
 
We further are reminded of the continued genocide by pro israel supporters in Palestine.
This event today was attended by hundreds. As South Africans we remember all too well our brutal history under apartheid, and the remnants of apartheid that continue to threaten our constitution and the freedom we have fought for.
 
Today we are reminded of our lack of freedom, the impact of apartheid and the effect of zionism. We are very aware that in Palestine millions have been displaced, are being deliberately starved, being denied aid and thousands have been massacred and continue to face eminent threat by the unlawful barbaric state called Israel.
 
We know all too well that the threats being faced by our people in South Africa is as a result of a common danger. Our people here are evicted from land, homes, farms, they are starved and crippled by ever increasing exorbitant costs and crime.
 
Crime has been allowed to go rampant as has substance abuse, old age-old tools of apartheid and enslaving our people being blatantly used and flaunted by our oppressors.
The sad reality for all is the test on our humanity globally and we ask ourselves why!
 
Many have forgotten who has helped us and at what cost
Palestinians were on forefront of helping SA and today we have those amongst us who only cares about their own interest and have forgotten Palestine.
We know that we will never be free until Palestine is free!
We have a duty to unite and mobilize as what is happening in Palestine affects us all.
From the River to the sea Palestine will be free!
