“HELP 1000 YOUNG WOMEN AND MEN IN PROVIDING BETTER SERVICE DELIVERY FOR YOU AND FOR THEIR OWN FUTURE”

Most young men and women between the ages of 18 to 24 are unemployed and face a bleak future. It is time that this section of society be given more opportunities. They are our future. Employers will be encouraged to give them jobs by getting a subsidy from the treasury  of about R1000 towards their monthly salary for at least two years. The Aljama-ah Political Party wants to take this further and help these young people to win seats as ward councillors in the 2011 municipal elections. The Party has launched a recruitment campaign to attract and select  young potential councillors, train them to be councillors and help them campaign to win seats. The Party has also launched an SMS fund raising project to get the community to help finance the recruitment, training and campaign costs of these young people who will come from all over the country.  A donation of R10 paid by the SMS will cover the R500 registration costs of the 1000 young people to contest the elections. The target for the campaign is a half a million rand. This will be a sound investment in our youth and the future of the community. In Cape Town the Party Leader Ganief Hendricks will challenge the current Democratic Alliance mayor to give our youngsters a better opportunity to get the votes to win as many seats as possible. His expertise as a Human Resources Specialist and awards for creating new generation jobs  will give him an edge over other mayoral candidates. Municipalities need more human resource development.  While it will be a contest between Dan Plato and Ganief Hendricks the winners will be our young men and women. Muslim and other  voters will be canvassed to vote for Ganief Hendricks rather than Dan Plato. The final mayoral candidate for the Party  and the candidates for councillors will be voted for by Party members when the election is called. The Party came 8^th out of 24 Parties in the 2009 national elections getting votes in 2000 voting stations in nine provinces.

My name is Fazlin Fransman, and Im a final year humanities student at the
University of Stellenbosch. I have recently been accepted into an internship
programme named the South African Washington Internship Programme (SAWIP ).
This internship programme takes student from the three universities in the
western cape, and gives them the opportunity to intern in washington. I will
most probably be interning in either the Congress : Senate or the White house,
depending on where I get placed.

This is an opportunity of a lifetime, for someone like me, who comes from a
sub-economic area.

One of The requirements of the programme is fundraising. We as the twelve
selected, have to each raise six thousand rand, to contribute to our trip to
washington. The total cost of the trip is R60 000, of which we get  R54 000
subsidised. The remaining R 6 000 we have to raise through sponsorships.

I have an avid interest in politics, and hope to one-day enter the political
field, this internship programme I hope will give me a jump-start in this
regard.

Attached is my CV, an a Official acceptance letter from SAWIP.

I ask you, to please consider the above, and to help me in this regard, or
forward me to someone who might be able to asist me.

Thanking you in anticipation

Voters must choose. There is a new space for fresh ideas to be heard in politics.

Is it going to be ideas from the shariah or will it continue to be the unruly mix of corrupt crony capitalists including some of the Muslim elite (Islam is bad for business type), conservative patriarchs, liberals, social democrats or stalinists and die hard communists.

The shariah was suppressed in Parliament under the eyes of Muslim lawmakers and their deliberate co-operation.

Aljama will change this. We will be proud of our Shariah and not apologists, prejudiced against our own values.

While the first laws to liberate the oppressed and to ensure justice in South Africa was written on Robben island by Tuan Guru in the 17th century while he was imprisoned none of these laws has been shared since 1994 with our lawmakers in parliament.

Tuan Guru was very strict in teaching prized Negro slaves and others not to compromise on divine laws. So he would have rejected the position of Muslim lawmakers that “Islam is bad for business” and that it was justified to vote in favour of abortion and same sex marriages and that to deny others shebeens was wrong.

To then justify this by saying that “to deny others their rights opened the door for Muslim rights to be trampled upon is certainly flawed and a sign of weakness.

Like Sheikh Ismail Keraan said on Roea night, South Africa needs guidance and it is our duty to “share the shariah”.

Help us build our first successful party so that Aljama can do so, Insha-Allah.

Aljama will showcase its National Party Leader Ganief Hendricks all over the country as a first step. He will position Aljama as an alternative government for the country insha-Allah and set targets to get 500 000 votes each in the Western Cape, KZN, Gauteng and the Eastern Cape. Lesser targets for now will be set for the other five(5) provinces unless funding hots up.

While the Party’s main support is expected to come from the Muslim Community it hopes to get substantial support from other voters, mainly from the youth, soccer players and supporters, people with disabilities and taxi drivers and their assistants,advocacy groups fighting for the rights of refugees, closing down of shebeens, taking care of drug users, seeking the right to compensation of victims of crime, promoting animal rights – all are expected to support the Party as it develops policies to help strenghten their interests and their campaigns.

Aljama is positioning itself to be a partner in a three – party state in South Africa in 2009.

VIVA ALJAMA. ALLAH IS GREAT. VIVA ALJAMA

Mr. Christian who is the chairman of the Mannenberg football association is a grassroots worker who has the interest of Mannenberg and the youth at heart. Belonging to the Aljama Political Party who will be contesting the national elections in 2009, Mr Christian aims at bringing change and hope to the residents of Mannenberg in the form of assisting to combat crime, delivery of better services and focussing on youth programmes ultimately to assist in life skills.

Mr Christian’s campaign team has already hit the road in the form of his campaign staff doing door to door visits asking members of Mannenberg about some of their concerns which he should address if he becomes the councillor. Colourful Aljama and “Boeta U” posters adorn the lamppost in area much to the excitement of those who know and admire Mr. Christian for his community involvement.

Aljama thought it apt to put Mr. Christian up as a candidate for the Bi Election in an effort to prove that the party is serious about its position on service delivery especially with a candidate who has lived for more than 25 years in the area. Aljama and Mr. Christian understand the needs of the Mannenberg community and propose to address these needs if Mr. Christian is elected as the councillor. The stance is also a bold stance for a recently formed party that has a vision of change and hope and believes strongly that the problems within ward 45 must be addressed from a moral and practical perspective.

The combination of the Islamic tenets with Ubuntu and true Christian and Hindu values has, in the party’s view, some of the best, most feasible answers for eliminating poverty and other social ills within our communities. The Party believes that an integration of this kind will provide for the moral rejuvenation of South Africa, something that our compatriots have great concern and passion for.

Aljama also believes that the journey towards elimination of poverty from the face of this country will equip us in establishing the moral values needed to curb the rampant crime and corruption still being witnessed here today, sadly in the shadow of the Apartheid era.
