No matter what race / colour you are people should feel free to vote for whoever they want to and we need to respect that .

People should be able to vote for who they want.

Divide and rule, concept is a Zio strategy.

It was a national election vote for South Africa as a country, electing governance within South Africa, governance that has been lacking for decades impacting the 62 million citizens living within South Africa.

I'm Tswana 🇧🇼🔥 but this brothers make me proud to be south African, well spoken my brother's

We are a very small minority in this country. I think we should all collectively vote for one party irrespective if we like the party or person. The goal should be to get seats in the National and provincial government to promote our Deen and its beauty. We must make the Muslim vote count

Shukran for your informative podcast we need to stand together to fight for justice for all humanity

Truth vs Deception. We need to just emphatically push for truth. They’re eventually going to lose because they lie

As an individual from KZN, i went above and beyond the call to engage in "voter activism". It was very disheartening to see massive voter apathy within my own very large family and extended family. Very disappointing. Inshallah lets we all endeavour to declare Jihad on voter apathy. The enemies of Islam were hard at work promoting voter registration, up to the extent of holding "workshops" in their businesses to promote voter registration. Jazakallah for all your time and efforts in presenting these stats. May Allah bless you all abundantly inshallah. But the only stat that needs to change, especially amongst the South African ummah, is the "Registered Voter" stat. We need to make our people understand that the vote is another way of "tying your camel". May Allah help us inshallah. Salaams and duas from Durban.

Love your concluding remarks, add that to the highlights reel🤲🙏 Beautiful message👌

Ppl are aware of the Muslim, ideological laws

How did the muslim vote perform according to age? Post Apartheid youth have no loyalty towards the 'old' and vote influenced by what they see or directly experience.

This is an excellent analysis I absolutely love the figures to prove to these DA 👿👹

I am supposedly a European South African. I am however an Afrikaner and have Muslim ancestors. The stereotypification of any person or group is horrific.

I'm not Muslim, but the biggest dread I have for this country is having the DA rise in power. Palestine is the measurement for your level of humanity in 2024 and the DA represents the apathy toward humanity in that regard. Dark days ahead if a DA coalition happens.

Thanks for this. Perhaps as a follow up post you can discuss why WC, specifically CT, Muslims are so fixated on their religious identity above all else? And how this is reductive of who we are, and a highly problematic form of 'identity politics' which gets in the way of our community being taken seriously, including in the political sphere? Which is ironically how political parties like the ANC can use the Palestinian issue to garner votes in the WC. Challenging the DA and their propaganda machine requires a better and bolder strategy, instead of relying solely on elections, and then only to get scolded like children by certain moulanas for 'betrayal' when the election results don't go out way. This is the kind of political ignorance and immaturity we need to address, along with the fact of deep seated racism and anti-Africanism in the Muslim community. The DA's anti-poor and anti-black stance is what resonates with muslims who voted for them - let's face facts and unpack this as a start. Shukran.

I feel very heartsore for the Palestinians. I'm a non Muslim but I was really hoping for the sake of us South Africans, that the ANC would not win.✌🇿🇦

Shukran guys for bringing up the injustice we live in the western cape but our roads were last cleaned with election time dont talk about the potholes the DA only concern is the white areas we no longer fooled by the DA

Unfortunately not all Muslims worry about Palestine ppl, we have our own problems to worry about, plus ppl in this country are not radicalised like the Arab country's

...DA won lots of votes from Muslim dominated areas...look at the voting districts...for me it doesn't matter whether Muslims vote DA or not...l don't care...

Shukran, this was very informative!

Saudi Arabia is establishing trade & maybe diplomatic agreements with Israel. So can we expect the people who are opposed to the DA, to also oppose Saudi Arabia? So you won't be visiting Saudi, and you will be protesting outside the Saudi embassy, like the pro-palestinian protests? If not you just displaying your hypocrisy and convenient love for Palestine just because it's Jews not Muslims. Like you dont protest about attacks on Yemen since 2015, which resulted in at least 680000 RIPs. In that situation, you are silent. Look into your mirror the next time you are looking for an opportunistic hypocrite.

Alhamdulilaha I'm happy to watch this young gentlemen How cool they discussing the betterment of the ummah and the community ow allah reward them goodness in this world 🌎 and hereafter free Palestinian

When you elect your government, you elect on local issues, not on some war going on in some foreign country. Palistine is not our priority. We have our own bread and butter issues to address, and the undesputable fact is that the DA governs better and with less corruption than others. If you are poor, Palistine become the least of your problems.

I am so glad for this show,i live in uk, i find the Malaysian musllims are close to my heart because they are un threatening , not like here in uk ,Go guys ,sending love , good luck , when you sing from the roof of the mosque you unite hearts ,my experience!

Leave the muslims alone, they can vote for whoever they want

Shukran brothers for the analysis

Alghamdulilah really good insight to show the significance of challenging the false narrative

Imagine how betrayed any voter would feel if their party makes a coalition with another party they would never have voted for. Elections are for the benefit of politicians, its a money and power game at the citizen's expense. Its not just about the Muslim vote, its about the indian, black and coloured vote, people of those groups who comes from apartheid and oppression, for those very same people to vote for a party whose history is that of oppression, division, apartheid, colonialism, unequal rughts based on colour, this is the DA party's history in South Africa. Those indian, coloured and black people voted for a party that did that to their parents and and ancestors. Do they seriously think the DA does not stand for those very same principles? Look at the Palestine issue, therein is the reveal. They bomblasted the ukrainian flag but wouldn't do the same for Palestine, in fact, they abused their authority of state resources and sent their police force out on people who painted palestinian flags on their own homes! On top of it, the DA would not even condemn the war crimes isreal is committing. Good luck to those who voted for them.

Shukran Boetas, this was and is a very important conversation. I hope many people see this

I'm wondering who put out the stats. Amazed that so many Muslims still voted DA. It would go against my grain and it's in support for Palestine and the ICJ case. But the DA numbers overall to me seemed inflated. Besides, they're so busy selling CT overseas on massive marketing and on dstv "Listing CT" property program, locals can neither afford the rentals, let alone buy in a middle income area. Foreigners with their euros buy Bokaap for a song and the elderly cant afford the rising rates. Homelessness are growing and one sees this leaving the city in any direction. Wealth starts with buying your first home and upgrading later as you wish, as you put down roots and have stability. Our educated youth runs overseas to the UAE, because there's nothing to keep them here. We've got Durbanites moving to CT and neighboring foreigners, but we dont have enough water, schools, universities, hospitals to accommodate. Nobody speaks of these things.

They were thinking of their country first

Do your data also look at the outcome of voters,u only talk about the DA which other party increase,so the ANC results.last we vote in South Africa for our own future

Greatful to see the WC under DA cos it works. We get along in the WC. Pals must learn a lot to grow.

Shukran for taking time to collate and present this data. It is reassuring that the muslim community stood firmly against zionist-backed parties. It is alarming that there is an active team trying to sow discord in the Ummah. Thank you for making us aware of it. When I first heard that the DA 'dominated' in the muslim community, the first thought I had was that the Muslims would rather vote for Pro- Israeli party than see black leadership in the Western Cape. This is obviously not completely true, but it links to the concern of embedded racism that many of our elderly have due to Apartheid conditioning. It's great that the previously staunched DA voter has been swayed by the Palestinian cause, but we should also not forget to pay attention to why they voted DA to begin with. Racism/anti-blackness/enabling white supremacy remains a weight in the muslim community and hasn't suddenly disappeared. Freedom of Palestinians cannot be without the freedom of indigenous South Africans.

Thank you guys for this talk.

Unbelievable that we would be expected to vote for the future of our country based on what happens in Gaza.What nonsense is this?

I think we should avvoid turning this into a witch hunt. A muslim living in a shack with no job or food may feel like they're between a rock and a hard place. I suspect many Muslims did but denied doing so in fear of being attacked.

Iran funded anc but the chopper went into the mountain so they don’t have funding anymore to support Iran

A voting station in a Observatory was closed and those voters were redirected to Salt River, therefore impacting the profile of the voter

So who is going to tell the DA to apologise to the Muslim community? Also the Imams that gave their Muslim communities a hard time should answer why they acted so quickly , trusting the word of the DA without doing proper analysis. The Imams too should apologise.

SA born Muslims are free to vote according to their conscious. No Imams should be telling them who to vote for that is against the law. Muslim political parties do not have the depth of experience to manage anything. SA born Muslims are not ridiculous to vote for religion instead of common sense.

Shukraan for the wonderful information i am so grateful for the scholars taking their time to do the research and inform the muslim communtiy about such an important topic.i would like to contribute something to the scholars if you can please send me banking details shukraan once again

Mashalah, great stuff guy's,clearing all doubts,as a voter In 😢 Bontas I knew Instantly that the DA ,s boastful statement was untrue, Algamdolilah ,we as Muslims would never ever support Zionism 🤓🇸🇦🇯🇴🇿🇦🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴♥️✌️👍

Isn't it possible that some muslims applied the hadith relating to changing an evil with your hand if able to so, if not to speak against it, and the last option is to hate it with the heart. Imagine our ulamaa had discussions like this to discuss the issue of the 2 eids. An issue that affects the communities they serve. An issue which we have control over. Now wouldn't that be great. Maybe next time insha'Allah.

Nobody never abondoned Palestine they thought of their country who is in a mess first...

So who would you like them to vote for then

I'm Muslim, but I did not vote DA, I was extremely sad cause I know that the DA does not stand for Islam. And I believe their was some rigging cause no one in my family voted da

It is quite simple, you do not vote for an outcome where you live taking into consideration a problem where you go not want you live. If you feel so bad about what is happening in Gaza, go and make a difference there.

Yes, the DA merely capitalises on the "slacking" of "others"... 26:19

Ameen 🤲🏽

Our imaan is not as weak as the propagandists think. Allah knows best

Angus Mckenzie is my ward councilor, he speak alot of things, but I know while standing in line their where people of different religions and their was probably a handful of people especially the elderly that said they voting da. What was very strange to me inside the voting station their was a table and every sitting at that table had da sweaters on, most of the official I knew and they where also da supporters. So please someone help me make sense

At the end if the day,no matter where the vote went ,the DA comfortably won the majority in the Western Cape....it is what it is.

Shukran brothers for providing clarity on the muslim vote in the western cape.

Jzk Khair

I wish the ANC would stop flirting with WMC and just form a pro-Palestine coalition, ANC/EFF/AJ/GOOD is 201 seats.

Can you trust the Muslim party, I think we are SA, we have nothing to do with Palestinians, we have our own problems, we can sympathise with but not go overboard as Naledi (Pundit)

Shukraan for the enlightenment moulanas

Guys don't harsh on Muslims. DA could have lost votes if their Afrikaner voters had continued supporting FF. The PA with the biggest potential to take voters from DA supports Israel which doesn't help the Palestinian course. ANC suffered in the Western exactly the same way they have elsewhere in the country. Perhaps Western Cape needs Muslim parties

i was upset because i know people of the western cape was more upset with the DA and we were believing that the DA like the ANC would be getting less votes but they seem to have gotten more votes, which was shocking. I didn't know about the Muslim vote though. Just a question do you not consider yourselves coloured?

We dnt know the true results 😂 when a lot of the votes weren’t counted

The way I see it, muslims in the Cape, largely excluded non muslims. By that I mean, they was no real engagement with other faith communities. To a large extent, non muslims in the western cape, saw the boycotts as a "muslim thing".

Thank you brothers for clarifying this issue 🙏

Something happened during the Sino-Soviet Split with Muslims in the USSR 28:29

Exactly, that's why I hold weSizwe waAllah so dearly❤ 18:19

That is so true and not only Palestinian but their own people Ramaphosa really disgrace lady Pandor in every where

The PA priority is the family unit: However, that may be a bit sqewed at the moment... Which I am contributing positively towards... 15:19

There are 2 kinds of muslims. Those that believe in violence and those that are at peace. The muslims that are at peace voted for their country, as yhey should. Those that voted for palestine, should go to gaza. 🇿🇦❤️🇮🇱

We suffered from a 6 stage failure in this last election 1 no Clear guidance on ruling of voting from MJC 2 conflicting messaging on voting rulings ranging from garaam to mandoeb 3 declare people as traitors whilst results were not declared 4 find out there was gross voter irregularities based on the parties letter and evidence to IEC 5 find out Co AN-DA lition is a probability 6 lose all collective voter minority group worth in the end

Do Muslims not consider themselves Colourdes?

Thank you, that was very informative. There are many lies, stories, and narratives being spread, but it is the facts and statistics that we, the people, need to hear. Unfortunately, public media is controlled by those who push their own agendas. I am not entirely sure how the panel distinguishes between "colored communities" and "Muslim communities." Many colored families have both Christian and Muslim members, and many Christian colored families have Malay ancestors. Trying to distinguish between a colored and a Muslim community disregards the unity of people with a shared heritage.

What I have at the moment are few, but strong Muslim & Muslima Leaders 46:44

So does this mean that ml Zakaria is going to apologize to the jumuah congregation that was accused of betrayal

Take away here is that we should always own our narrative. We've always been an influential constituent of Cape society.

Asalaam my muslim brothers in Islam, it is very evident that the DA plays a very devious game and that game is called divide and conquer, exactly what they did to the ANC, hence the ex ANC members formed their own political parties to strip the ANC and allow for DA to conquer

DA represent the interest of a certain select,plus MSM (controlled by big corporate) is their loudspeaker. But What happened to all their black leaders who left, Ramulifho, Ntuli, Maimane, Mazibuko, Patricia de Lille, Mashaba, Mamphele lady from Agang etc. and so many other black leaders have not lasted at the DA. very telling.

No, not voting, discussions. Have people active in Circumstance-Prioritization 43:42

Could it be that muslims abstained for most part in those areas?

Your stats you discussing don't make any sense if the DA won with the same % votes.

Stupid discussion. Stop putting another country or religion before our own country. We have enough problems here.

Aameen. Ma sha Allah ..BarakAllah for clarity ..as we all know that our Palestinian brothers and sisters freedom, self determination, and peace is close to our hearts, we will never abandon them. And we all know that Muslim votes did not and will not go to the Zionist DA and PA, or any of the Genocide supporters!

I disagree that we, as the PA course harm. The fact is that you had fully embrace the DA.

Our hearts are always with our beloved palestine

Those muslim areas make the best food in cape town

You are spot on but we undermine WMC.

It was disappointing that Muslims did not rally as a political bloc for the sake of Palestinians and international justice, highlighting our failure to inculcate the political consciousness needed to be relevant non-racialist citizens in our country.

Slm if we have true leadership the people will follow.. be active in communities and see the condition of our people and educate and inform the people.. most of you guys are more worried about your pockets

I didn't vote blue, but we need to be rational and unemotional. Some muslims did vote DA - for economic reasons. Ppl are scared of what MK would do, look at KZN 2 years ago, the EFF being vigilantes, the ANC ruining healthcare, education, infrastructure etc. What muslims need to realise is, many muslims complain about issues, but they interact very little with this sphere, what would be the case if we added 10-20% more effort on this sphere (becoming politicians, being more active etc.). And that will go along way to integrating into the SA society, like maulana highlighted in the talk.

Our ummah is based on western ideology. ANC, South Africa,taken Isreal to icj,we Muslim in South Africa never boycot any zionist entity's. But the world world boycotted...

Salaam Don't mix religion with politics Anc headquarters invited 3 moslem to tell moslem to vote anc All I say

Is there a any possibility of consolidating a power structure between CCC/AlJamah-ah/PA? 32:04 @Gayton(May)Kenzie is flexible... 32:31

I don't care much 'bout Data-backing; I care about the social-input. That is to say, the position you hold at your Pulley (From that which you draw towards) 20:39

Oct 7 has given an opportunity to Israel। to get world public opinion in her fevour.

Vote for who u want. Palestinian issues should not decide who u vote for.. sympathy votes doesn't count. Muslims voted for DA all along. Worthless discussion gentlemen. Genocide? What does river to the sea mean?

Sensible Muslims.

No worries on that, Braggah waAllah 8:31
