The Work of the Villagers League?

AL JAMA-AH VILLAGERS LEAGUE

Developing Rural Villages into Smart Villages

Al Jama-ah Villagers league was created for the sole purpose of taking programs to rural areas to ensure development of rural areas and improving the lives of residents of these areas.

The Villagers League held its first meeting in Umzinto, KZN in February 2022. We gathered Al Jama-ah public representatives and National Leadership including the NWC and NEC under the theme “Turning rural villages into Smart Villages”.

Al Jama-ah Villagers League has over 60 villages across the country that they are assisting in rural upliftment.

Al Jama-ah is the only political party that has a Villagers League that cares for the Villages in South Africa.
