  • 2019 National Mosque Open Day – Report

    With 45 Mosques registered, the 2019 National Mosque Open Day hosted over 2000 participants across six provinces. People of all faiths (or none), cultures and ethnicities visited the Mosques in their communities for a two hour programme.

    Participants gushed over the warm welcome they received. They were surprised to learn of the hospitable and peace-loving nature of their Muslim brothers and sisters. For many, it was their first time meeting a real Muslim and for many more, it was their first time visiting a Mosque. Words such as kindness, warmth, sincerity, friendliness and understanding came up frequently as feedback from participants. It was a day for all people of South Africa to come together within their communities and initiate or strengthen relationships built on mutual understanding.

    The South African Muslim Network would like to thank all who participated in the 2019 National Mosque Open Day and to all Mosque Representatives for their efforts and that of their teams.
