Searching for Islamic Ethical Agency in Post-Apartheid Cape Town
0R220,00The compositions brought together in this book began a quarter of a century ago in 1994, with the onset of South AfricaOs non-racial democracy, and in one way it may be viewed as the critical observations of an organic intellectualO engaging the exigencies of life during the first 25 years of South AfricaOs democracy.
The bookOs compositions are presented in chronological order, so the reader is able to follow the ebb and flow of life in post-apartheid South Africa. It is also fitting that the book commences with an excellent sermon about the Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP) that was delivered at the Claremont Main Road Masjid (CMRM) in 1994, since the core of the compositions are sermons which were delivered here. These were all outstanding sermons, as those who witnessed their public performance can attest to. Their inclusion in this book thus provides a wonderful opportunity for a wider audience to benefit from Prof. FataarOs profound insights.

0R375,00Universities of the 21st century and beyond must be about teaching, learning, research excellence, creativity and innovation as much as they must be about enabling the destiny of students, communities and nations to realize their potential.

Sights, Sounds, Memories
0R400,00The Second World War involved most of the countries of the world and left so many millions dead and maimed, disorganised and devastated through personal and communal loss. This book recovers some of South AfricaOs soldiersO experiences from the physical and mental debris of the war. Individuals are important; their lives used as lenses give us colour and texture, and their voices tell the stories of ordinary soldiers. Using their memoirs and diaries, the vitality of their endeavours is reasserted, their successes and failures, victories and indecencies are re-examined, and their magnanimity and the general triumph of the human spirit are celebrated.
