  • Letter of congratulations send to new interim DA leader

    Dear Mr. Steenhuisen

    RE: CONGRATULATIONS | APPOINTMENT OF INTERIM LEADER OF THE DEMOCRATIC ALLIANCE – JOHN STEENHUISEN

    The South African Muslim Network (SAMNET) congratulates you on your election as interim leader of the Democratic Alliance.

    The Democratic Alliance finds itself at a crossroads both internally and in relation to gathering support from the diverse spectrum of South African voters. It is no secret that the South African Muslim community, in general, is firmly opposed to the pro-Israeli stance of the Democratic Alliance. This has clearly been a huge stumbling block for many Muslims in terms of support for your party, amongst concerns about other local policy issues.

    Notwithstanding the presence of a few Muslims at various levels of the Democratic Alliance outside of the real power-broking structures, if the Democratic Alliance wants to truly live up to its claim of being genuine liberal democrats dedicated to justice and equality, not just in South Africa but all parts of the world, then many of the Democratic Alliance’s foreign policy positions need to be reassessed independently and in cognisance of the interests and wishes of its present constituency.

    Much has already been said about the right shift within the Democratic Alliance and we hope under your leadership the Democratic Alliance will introspect and relook at its policies not just for equality and justice for all in South Africa but all over the world.

    Kind regards

    Dr. Faisal Suliman
    Chairperson
     

  • Letter of congratulations sent to new Eskom CEO

    Dear Mr. de Ruyter

    RE: CONGRATULATIONS | APPOINTMENT AS ESKOM HOLDINGS SC CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

    The South African Muslim Network (SAMNET) congratulates you on your appointment as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Eskom Holdings SOC.

    Eskom is a critical strategic national asset and holds the key to our economic and political stability and growth.

    Clearly tough and perhaps politically unpleasant decisions need to be made and we hope that
    you will address these without fear or favour in the interest of all South Africans.

    Kind regards
