25 MAY 2025 | AL JAMA-AH’s Hendricks takes election campaigns to Lenasia
As South Africa heads into crucial local government elections, political parties are stepping up their campaigns. On Sunday in Lenasia, Al Jama-Ah, led by party president and Deputy Minister of Social Development Ganief Hendricks, held an event that blended strategic planning with a display of political vision.
The gathering highlights key themes such as governance, community representation, and broader global perspectives.
Speaking in his dual capacity as both party president and Deputy Minister in the Government of National Unity, Hendricks outlines an ambitious vision for his party’s path forward. We need to come to our aid in the Western Cape before it becomes a mini-Israel-before we see a Gaza in the Cape Flats. That province was handed to the former oppressors. President Mandela made a mistake.”
Hendricks didn’t shy away from global issues either, drawing parallels between apartheid and what he called the current economic inequality in South Africa, also denouncing claims of the so-called white genocide.
“Today, Afrikaners are seven times richer than they were during apartheid, well researched and documented. And Donald Trump is confused if he thinks there is no genocide in Palestine. We know where the real injustice lies.”
The party, which has two former Johannesburg mayors, has its eyes set on having at least 10 seats in parliament. Supporters and social activists like the Pakistan South African Organisation also pledged their loyalty to the 18-year-old political party.
The group’s Zubair Malik says, “Over 50 000 of us are now naturalised South African citizens and will be looking forward to supporting this party.”
