Ebrahim Gabriels – Lecture 27032020

My name is Sheik Ibrahim Gabriels. I am the former president of the

Muslim Judicial Council, similar in the name of God Almighty, most

Gracious, most Merciful. I would love to believe that coronavirus

is not a curse from God Almighty. It's not a punishment, but it's a

mercy. It is a time for South Africans to reflect, not only

South Africans, but people of the world. And in the context of South

Africa, we have got one of the most beautiful countries in the

world, and we were always united. And so this is a time for us to

reflect and to work together and take South Africa to another

level. I'm as a captainian, born and bred captainian, I can still

tell about how we can could have put the bottle of milk outside

with the money in, and the milky man comes and he put the milk and

nobody will take it. South Africa's chains. There's too much

corruption, there's too much crime. So this is the time for us

to stand together. I, as a Capetonian, can tell that my

mother, Christmas time would make biryani and Ruth and curry for all

the Christian neighbors in the world. I would go on our Eid and

Christmas time with my Christian friends. So we lived together as

Christians, Jews and Hindus and everybody. And this is a time for

us to come back to that state and build up South Africa, and so that

we can have a crime free South Africa and a freak of corruption.

And may God Almighty bless all South Africans. You.
