  1. Instead of supporting Shahieda Salie’s event and highlighting her event over the past weekend you decided to do article on yourself in Cape Argus today.
    If you are appointed as an IFDC South Africa country manager you should have supported her in her in all endeavors.Is that not of your prime task in your current position.
    Shahieda Salie has now published two books on Scarf styling and have ran numerous scarf styling events some without charge.
    As Muslims, we in Cape Town YES especially Cape Town must not have this mentality of thinking about oneself and to hell with the others.
    Let us especially, you change our ways as Muslims FIRST.
