message: I am removing this (incorrectly named) section; the reference web site cannot be accessed without a sign-in, and the fact that one of the population categories is "Mine Kaffir" infers that the data is so old as to be useless. Humansdorpie 18:09, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Islam among ethnic groups 

message: partheid state, the acceptance of Islam has become part of a radical rejection of a society based on Christian principles which are seen as having been responsible for establishing and promoting the Apartheid doctrine through the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa. The influence of the radical ideas espoused by Malcolm X is very evident among South African Muslims of all races.
The above statement is false and uncited. The fact is that the relationship between race groups is not so clear cut. The relationship between black and Muslim Indian people is almost the same as that of black and white people. Many Mosques have two services (one for black and one for Indian members). 
Many African (black) Muslim followers are immigrants to South Africa (from other African countries such as Somalia). The relationship between these people and black South Africans is mostly extremely hostile.
During Apartheid black Christian churches also preached "liberation theology". So the above uncited statement is fairly retarded.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.19.156.44 (talk) 20:20, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needs an urgent rewrite =

message: How about having a breakdown of number of muslims by province?
Also read elsewhere that South Africa was the 1st place in the world where a woman lead a prayer (in jamaat). That definately needs mentioning. 
As for charitable cause championed under the banner of Islam, how about compiling a list of some sort.   Islamic Medical Association is a great example.
If possible a mention of Hanafi and Shafi distribution in South Africa. 
Was there not a series of bombings and other forms of violence that were attributed to Muslim Groups or individual Muslims around 1995. I do kind of remember an organisation that was called something against gangs and drugs. A interenal link to a seperate article that would fully expound on this would be highly useful.
A list of Mosques would maybe be welcome as well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cape fox (talk • contribs) 21:44, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I propose that the "Political parties" section be expanded to the following text. I will not make the edit myself because of my declared conflict of interest in the area of South African party politics. - htonl (talk) 09:05, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
