“It has been a time where the Muslim community made a lot of personal sacrifices, giving to the needy and assisting those less fortunate than themselves.<\/p>\n
“Having felt the warmth and love of the Muslim community, I know and trust that this spirit of self-sacrifice, giving and volunteerism will be extended in their everyday life to all South Africans,” he said.<\/p>\n
