The President of Mohammed VI Foundation of African Oulema (South African Branch) and Deputy Ameer of Gauteng Muslim Shura Council, South Africa, explained: 'We have many independent Islamic institutions, and Muslim communities in South Africa have established advocacy centres for new Muslims, to teach them Islamic curricula.'
