Come and experience the highlight of the evening:   plays performed by members of the MSA and other community members. One  is entitled “Unforgettable Echoes,” which focuses on the spread of Islam – as a culture and religion, through South Africa as well as the struggle many of the early Muslims suffered in our country. The other  is  “The Peoples Imaam” and tells the tale of Imaam Haroon, a leader who played a vital role in the spread of Islam and who suffered imprisonment, torture, and death under the apartheid government for his beliefs.
