And those are the headlines these continues here on aljazeera world next. South africa today is often known as the rainbow nation a Multiracial Society whose 1st black president in 1904 nansen mandela encouraged tolerance equality and harmony among a previously heavily divided people. Mandelas policy was at sharp odds with the countrys past a nation in which state sponsored racism in the form of apartheid touched every corner of society leaving a stain of injustice that endured for decades. While the world is familiar with mandelas remarkable story from prisoner to president relatively little is known about some of the other campaigners of the period including one a muslim a preacher and a family man. I grew up with many stories about that my grandfather worked in the many stories of him as a hero as a mater of people who talk about the earthquake and how he inspired many people in the in the antiapartheid struggle especially in the western cape. I grew up with the book the killing of your mom and the cover of the book with a man falling down the stairs and they would talk a bit about him as a. Broad he would have this title so for me as a kid i thought. Must have been an amazing and important man. The man was in a duel a heroine a Community Leader born in 1923 in the shadow of cape town stable mountain. His was a determined struggle for justice and equality that would eventually cost him his life. The. The. The over 50 years after her own staff muslims in south africa gathered to celebrate the life of the anti apartheid campaign. He rose to prominence in 1955 when aged only 32 he put his name forward to become the youngest ever of cape town jimmy a mosque. It was a man who clearly broke the mold hes western appearance shop suit striped shirt with matching cufflinks were hardly traditional dress. Some thought that his modern useful style made him unfit for the role but her room presented his personal vision and not for the last time won over hearts and minds. What happened was that there was an opportunity at the at the local must. In claremont and many of these positions they have elections and literally you won by a small margin because there were other candidates as well and they say even each father was one vote against him because they felt age is an important thing. For person to become a new mom they did not consider knowledge and it was them as important things they considered age as an important thing but. Theyre more wrong he had far more wisdom and far more insight than even the older ones that existed in. The young hit the ground running setting up Adult Education classes chairing debates and breathing new life into the mosques busy weekly activities today south africa has its societal problems but the 1960 s. Were very different times the White National Party Government introduced apartheid a system of institutionalized racial segregation a divided South Africans racially dictating their Political Economic and social rights the minority white population dominated the majority of black africans who had few rights under apartheid indians and mixed race people socalled khaleds had some additional privileges if you want to understand what is a path and look at the use of a occupied palestine its a simpler community that came from outside they both infrastructure and very efficient infrastructure as well and now that we own the land we are going to hear. What a party did was it which was white on the one side and what very considered another way its not a term that i expect except because nonwhite means you are a nonperson. But for the sake of reference to the nonwhite and further divide them into 3 basically groups africans or as they be for natives. And indians and they gave each obvious 3 groups different or lesser privileges so the indians were probably the most privilege of the 3 groups then we had become and then we had to be africans will be made. Many Muslim Leaders in south africa known as the opted not to campaign actively against apartheid preparing not to rock the political but. Muslims in apartheid. Where our for a long period. They did not take a very political stand they were rather loyal in loyalty to the ruling system there is an interesting. Quotation that is. Written in the muslim news this is a religious muslim newspaper in 64 and they wrote. Has the government or britain the worship of a large and the spreading of islam has the government closed down or ordered the the demolishment of any mosque in a declared wide area if the government has ordered us to us as muslims to deserve the faith of our forefathers than our all amar would have been the 1st to urge us to resist even to death. And youre welcome to voice became drivetime archers important follicle university in the western cape refused raunch most generally agree on weekly africa report not a 5 demographer you while youre on whats happening in fact the interesting thing about him on whole room that when he started to become politically aware and when he started to talk about Political Awareness and remember Political Awareness in suffolk and in those days was about basic human rights unfortunately and this is a big blot on our community a lot of the allam of the time a lot of the Community Elders of the time told him to keep quiet they said he was going and doing things that was going to cause trouble. But rather than avoiding trouble the young man had ruined seemed to attract it. To him and the Mass Community devoted a lot of time and effort to helping local poor and underprivileged families. And gave special attention to families whose breadwinners had been forced into exile or had died fighting the Apartheid Regime his focus was on seeking justice and speaking out against a whole range of unfair treatment. I think one when needs to 1st of all look at the him arms political activism. It didnt just suddenly happen where you realize you know there is a political struggle and i have to get involved. It was a process for the mom as well and the process started when the mom because of his social justice conscience he was a man who had empathy for people who were suffering people that were afflicted in his own community in his own german as in the mom and he used to be a Sales Representative for a company that used to sell sweets and used to go into the townships and hes to see the conditions in the townships and he started interacting with the people. He was. A consultant one would say to this Company Called around trees and that this gave them the opportunity to be able to go into the different townships use opportunity yes just sell them jackets you know they probably had shops but you also use opportunity to find out what is happening to the families of the of the people that has been arrested and in prison without trial or they just disappear without a trace. And you use this opportunity. To. Deepen his political circle and also contacting and the for there thing self to what was currently happening. As the South African authorities became increasingly aware of her own spiritual activism the threat to his personal safety also grew him on her own contacted an emerging Political Opposition Movement the panafrican is congress. The p. S. C. Like the opposition African National congress was heavily opposed to south africas notorious pass laws these dictated that black people had to carry identity documents at all times which controlled their movements and access to work they became one of the most hated aspects of apartheid laws. Meanwhile her own began to look politically beyond his own Muslim Community. Well. Of those people who said that we are all human beings. That we must embrace each other that when we suffer we suffer together so not only did we turn thin the barrier of mother that he actually brought people together from different backgrounds he ignored and was not interested in whether you were from india or you were from malaysia or from africa that was not important for you. As anti apartheid resistance symond it would not be long before it boiled over into violence the 21st of march 1960 was about to carve itself tragically into South African history the pan african is Congress Called for a demonstration against the pass laws a crowd gathered to express their resistance to the pass laws of the township of shall fill in the old transvaal province the day started peacefully but as many as 7000 protesters gathered in front of the Police Station just after 1 pm there was an altercation between the officer in charge in the demonstration leaders there were 160. 00 police and they opened fire. Chaos ensued by the end of the day 69. 00 demonstrators lay dead and hundreds more were injured what we now know as a short film massacre became a notorious event in south africas troubled history abdulahad roun was not shot phil however those close to him states that the massacre moved him to intensify his resistance to apartheid firstly had challenges with the ms community. But clearly many people were aware that this man was not moving in comfortable circles that not only were these against the upper Big Government but that he was actually actively working to bring them down by the 1963 but the government had already banned 2 of the Major Political organizations meaning it was illegal to be a member of the social message is one of those points in our history that separates that stands as a beacon of chair of the challenge to be a Big Government so when. Joined up with and heres the interesting thing you work closely with these people you never joined the organization was very close with them or be a part of the government when you saw that those people are from begala they immediately associated with him. Some 6 months later in october 960. 00 there was a referendum bris tricked it to white voters on whether south africa should break its ties with britain and become a republic. South africa had been a member of the British Commonwealth since 1926 as a selfgoverning dominion of the british empire. It was a beta Divisive Campaign the republican side united under the slogan to reunite and keep south africa white. The result was close to narrow victory for the governing whites National Party of henriks award with a referendum having now only passed the republic of south africa was constituted on the 31st of may 1961 the majority black population reacted with horror at 3 d. A general strike was called which the mom haroon supported by encouraging muslims to fast for 3 days of peaceful protest the moms are action was remarkable at a time when few muslims in south africa opposed the government so overtly just wanted to make sure the well being are taken care of but this also opened his eyes and his mind into what was happening and now call the gov apartheid government was during the time of our party and with my fathers involvement with the African People in in a young girl it to he obviously made to work brothers that saw how he. Communicated with them and i remember my mother always used to say that. When we were living in the same area not in this particular ours but in a different house they used to come and visit my father many times at the house or many times they will come and my father will take them away. Throughout the 1960 s. Mom haroon continued to live a double life outwardly he was a religious and Community Leader a family man but at the same time he was a committed political activists opposing south africas Apartheid Regime whenever possible. Ok surely these 2 roles combined as they did in 1968 when he went on a pilgrimage to islams holiest city mecca from there he traveled to cairo and onwards to london where he met the leadership in exile of south africas opposition groups he also developed close ties with a Christian Organisation and channeled money from british sympathizers to support families of political detainees and victims of the shot the massacre when it came in landing me meeting with a priest by the name of canon john cullen and this man was the need of an organization that channeled money into south africa and gave money particularly to the families of those people who were detained and their party and he found in. Unlovable and honest men with whom you could convey the money and support people and so you mom became and as a direct challenge to be a puppet government they saw that if we arrest the father of this house and a man comes in the brings food to that house he pays there in he looks after the children and then they are defeated and so theyve been very angry about the man continued to help especially those people who are in prison on the Robben Island and in various prisons you see this newspaper which shows another part of his life which he was a travel specialist you build up this. This image of this bird whose father political activist. He worked for wilson rhodri but very curiously hes also like a travel specialist so what is he doing for me hes hustling grown hes just like the number of pigs in order to. There together out the people maybe it was a way for him to travel. Towards the end of his london trip Abdullah Haroon receives news that the soft African Security services were aware of his clandestine activities and that his life was in danger. Returning to cape town he learned that 4 campaigners had been arrested and had later died in Police Custody the official cause of death was given a suicide he continued both his activism and charity work and received funds from his close friend an anti apartheid campaigner Canon John Collins and his british supporters. On the morning of the 28th of may 969 as a man her own was preparing for a major muslim religious commemoration he was summoned to the notorious state Security Office in cape towns Caledon Square. As he left the house he assured his wife and family that hed be back safely that evening. It was a promise sent through no fault of his own he was unable to keep. He continued to do that which people consider bit was very dangerous and people are remembering him at different ways but that part which was the most dangerous he took it all on himself and he was always conscious that people bet the Security Police were watching him he was also very conscious that the Security Police had amongst his jumma and in the various places that he went amongst the muslims there people who were paid to tell stories about him. But you was away there he said they were always cause standing near his house white men sitting watching what he was doing so in that way he was aware that they were interested in what he was doing and he used to take a lot of precautions so if he needed to go and see people were members of bad organizations he will ask who i am student well take me from point a to point b. Then you ask separately to another one come fetch me by point b. And pick me to point c. So he was very aware of these types of precautions that needed to be taken. Days of detention turned into weeks and then months still the Police Interrogation of abdul harpoon continued they wanted to know absolutely everything about his Political Activities where he went who he met and what he said the Police Intelligence was detailed they asked about his secret meetings with South African opposition leaders in exile. And they honed in on his friendship with Canon John Collins whom the mom had 1st met on the steps of st pauls cathedral in london. So while the police asked a lot of questions it seemed they already knew the answers him on her own waited for the police to press charges but yet none came. Remembered i have of that day of their faces was still very much its in my mind and i remember. The Police Coming in the morning to a home i wonder at school and they my math father adam im a math father telling my mother that is paying for them to college in square that they want to speak to him at the talent square that is one of the prison. In the city have kept out the best which the police gave to the community they could see that the it world had this power to galvanize this community which is very small but quite strong economically and strong in history in the country and very close community. So i think it was this preemptive strike. That they wanted to take him or to shake it up before he had the childs to gather a body of people. Coming up when friends become enemies and those you trust become treacherous. And fortunately there was a spy. For the Apartheid Regime within their group theyve been very Close Friends like a Family Living together.

It was 969. 00 and the South African anti apartheid activist abdul her role was being held without trial in cape towns notorious canadarm square Police Station despite being a high profile Community Leader and editor of the citys muslim newspaper there was relatively little public outcry over his detention. Our own was part of bored off muslim news the newspaper and one should expect that when one member of the board is. In detention that there is an article about it but. That was interesting that they did not really react on this and they wrote. Muslim news is not a political paper and does not publish political views on news it only concerns itself with the religious and social needs of the Muslim Community what ever political views him on how our own expresses is entirely his own views and not in the capacity as editor of the muslim us its a big distance that they make and its we are we are clean and its his problem and not our problem and i think this tells you a lot about the the muslim position. From the 28th of may until the 19th of august he was kept in one place which is now refer to as cape town single Police Station and he was kept the without there being any contact with anybody and so they would say that. Like normal people go to work theyll come in at 8 oclock. And they would question the him from 8 oclock in the morning till 4 oclock in the afternoon and then they say sometimes i used to do night shift without interrogate him from 6 oclock in the evening though 6 oclock in the morning so this was the. Around the clock the way they used to. Continue to interrogate him. What my father did to he managed to smuggle letters out of prison how did that was that. The process and the the thermal flask inside and out of part of the frost it separate. And then my mom sent him. To prison couldnt crack the biscuits i dont know if you know but could have cricket biscuits but on the cardboard used to write the letters addressed to her and latest at least to the late bonnie to say it was a member of the b. A c. A band African National congress will win so that is how the letters got out of president so the police they were picked up that but that he struggled up quite a few letters. Harun contacted one of the london activists bonnie decide to ease the tension. Later decide would become the spy on course for. This particular paper is i think where one of the 1st notes coming out he writes on these on these papers and he gets it smuggled out by his young son muhammad who comes to bring him some food and drinks and he manages to smuggle this information out to my father who was living in london. The effect of the letters on my father. For as his children was very traumatic he felt somehow that he was responsible because the in my being to see him and that organize to do certain things together. Arrange for money for support for the people inside the country and he felt that with the him i hadnt been there to see him. That the him and would still be alive and this tortured him. Made him very depressed for many years. He had to put he had to document the story. That had a very devastating effect on our family. For a total of 123. 00 days abdul harun was held at Caledon Square Police Station only those who were there can truly know what happened over those 4 long months but it is known that haroon was subject to torture reports emerged of beatings with Police Batons 2 broken ribs serious bruising electrocution and knees all speaking stuck in her own spine. Was the bunny this i became the person within that i had to book about his life later on and in the he told about types of questions that they were asking the one that they were asking was largely about who are they giving money to Canon John Collins to get money into your count then you gave the money to. Those that have questions. And so of course. Given the length of time that the man was held it was clear that the man did not give them the answers they wanted the 2nd issue is that they considered him on how to somebody as a recruiter. Of war of young people which you were sending out side of the panty to get military training with which they would then fight the about Big Government in the it is a clear reference to the military wing of the pan african is congress in one of a little. And then of course a clear indication to c. T. Scan and cannon columns. Unfortunately there was a spy. For the Apartheid Regime within their group theyve been very Close Friends like a Family Living together and the m. M. Inadvertently found out about this by when he heard the special branch over speaking and saying theres barney you know that kenny sold him out now that made perfect sense because of all the other people that were in the room but this is something the in my overheard so this is this kind of information is contained. In this part of the document theres the other side of the of the of the of the cracka so i think that this information when they do open an inquest into the death of the m. M. Will now be able to lay to rest who actually betrayed betrayed. The are you are. Wrong the are the unable to visit the emotion while he was in detention his family grew increasingly concerned about him. Support came from a british born South African politician Catherine Taylor who raised the moms detention in parliament. The Police Minister replied that it was not in the Public Interest to comment on her rules detention. On the 27th of september 969. 00 the Police Revealed that the man haroon had fallen down a small se case in the Police Station and as a result of the fall had died. In moms body was found in the morning of 975969. In macon Police Station so the. Local policeman who was there opened up and he found the mans body slumped on the floor and they then of the sick at the police informed years wife that the mom had died over 50 years later her own family still refused to accept the claim of accidental death given the overwhelming weight of evidence to the contrary. I go to the Police Station. Where he was found dead. The last few blocks away but you know to see where he lived his final moments but also to see the stairs that they said he fell down because like 2 or 3 steps will reveal. The. Room. So. Yeah. Its a space that also over all the years of people talking about. What he did and there will be explored so. You know i wanted to go there was of the movie for me because i felt so sad this year but also i felt good i felt kind of connected more connection with have been away as a grandson. We were informed as a fan me that our father what we knew was he was killed by falling down a few flights of state and as his children we never believed that our father was killed we knew that he was tortured because when the body came home on the 29th of september of 1069 but rather remembers very clearly that his body was very bruised they was badly tortured i didnt see the bruised body but all i can tell you i saw his face and then when i went to greet my father and i remember somebody in the family picked me up and another member taking my hands and i cupped his cheeks thats my hands and i looked at the many a part of the space was sad but a part of his face was happy but there was a send off piece. What independent pathology reports also indicated was they were serious injuries for example a number of ribs were broken. He had him out on had a blood clot a humor team at the base of the skull of the spine a big part of the base of the spine at bottom of the back so in mom heart rooms and what if one looks at the extent of his injuries was not just given a few blows over a period of a day. Pathology reports indicate that he was actually beaten over a period of days and sustained beatings over probably 1014 days before he actually tried. The funeral showed a totally different response because for the Muslim Community of individuals lets put it like this also in the Muslim Community you have the impression that they just woke up from from. From a deep sleep and. The funeral was much more than a funeral procession it was. Rather political demonstration and just imagine its 30000 people who just came from all all over all directions and and attended the funeral. And. The people have walked with the moms. Body with these. For over if you know much of it and they carry them and over 30000 people it was reported had followed him and over 30000 people of all walks of life and they came to this graveyard and one of the strangest things happen at the grave and that is that the 1st time the Security Police themselves wanted to decide where to bury my mountain and they chose to bury him and i dont talk with people with no families or people who are not known especially couldve been those would be buried and they stood there in their dug a grave for him. But the people of cape town in the muslims in particular decided that he would be buried in this but im position that i can for and amongst the need is both elitist leaders and Muslim Political leaders had i thea in front in the much better. And by the time the Security Police realized he had been buried already because there were so many people they couldnt see what was happening that night young people thought that the Security Police would dig up his grave and take him back on top of the less of a high note his own plans and for the 1st time ever in the recorded these 3 cape town had experienced a mess of earthquake in a distant place but that it was well felt that idea in this month but. It was such a powerful tremor. That the Security Police that i know way. That evenings are earthquake measured 6. 00 on the Richter Scale and it remains the most destructive chairman in south africa in history. So in terms of the way nature. Spun the tools the. The mother of the burial all in well more or be always. Expected and its all part of gods presence. Gods anger. But also all the ethyl mation that this was a child of god. Thus. The site he did was a child of god so was so the nature of for us was a sign that there was a voice to us quake was the voice of god and of the creator. The fact that the file is not closed the file has never been closed on steve because for example the file has not been closed when im a tomorrow for example 70 people have died in the tension we still havent got the answers and even the truth and Reconciliation Commission couldnt get close to the truth and some families like him how ruins family decided not to testify at the truth and Reconciliation Commission because they didnt feel it was going to get them anywhere while the search for truth continues so do f. Is to preserve the memory of a do not have room of course we know we lived in the end of apartheid then the nationalist party of that time a White Supremacy government which suppressed the people of the land but here we capture those who died in the party detention specifically from the year 963 until the in 1940. However youll find that some of the people walk up to the some of the euros of the liberation struggle you see people when they mean 93 so they must a little jab and then the next day 5 god gave me a look at the late on 69 you know im a good loudoun you find my coach you go to james link go and 71 im a team all the numerous people who wrote the history these were stalwarts in this struggle and you find that it kept just all those 117 people of whom we know have been documented as ever being killed in a Party Prisons so as we say we recognise as you those in remembering him up to loudoun on the road really mind the world do not forget those who died in detention have psuedo dined in 2019 eggs. Actually 50 years to the day after her husband sometimes reality scripts produces a business script but in fiction. So the passing of. We call on the police how did the passing of and the new most current was probably no script writer could have written that. You know rican say bad things happen among those pits but really as. Ordinary human beings we want to put meanings to things and i think its important to give meaning to anything that happens in our lives and i am i will apologetically give meaning to the fact that the mom and his wife were buried on the same day more or less at the same time its probably a message message from a spiritual world one to pretty bad that we have to actually accept and give significance to. We are busy ranging the exhibition on the life of the moment the law. And. We are busy making sure that the story of the life of the modern follows the clone the logical pattern. He boards cover for an s. P. S. Obvious life such as commemorating and murder in detention. And 50 years afterwards but remember hes still alive and the perpetuation of the struggle the memory of struggle always continues for ever the easy need for justice these are theres a need to respond to be able to bring 1st justice wherever this operation and corruption in the justice. And here we see at the foot of signal you the lion said we 5 year out would be putting the most remarkable our own dont forget the must be mainly but the government in that time removed all the people from the area so that it became a white area most teams could not to stay there but up to today people went for sarah for drama and it continued until now its the limited effect we had a commemoration for permission at the most when we see this is the prison in town where he was a christian really interested and we show some of the buildings governmental structures to indicate how there was this overwhelming. Attack on the most but nonetheless this has of i its in the foreground and in fact the artwork won 2nd prize in the international competition. This is one of the regional versions of book that my father wrote called the killing of the m. M. And he wrote this book i think to keep him as memory alive but also for him it was a cat that experience to put this right this book because he felt so guilty about the fact that the mom was tortured and killed in detention because hed been with my father and john collins and other people to promote the book in as many forms as they can and said the people the youngsters who werent around 50 years ago people form all faith.
