Description

Although the main emphasis in this study is on the indigenous religious aspects of the Zanzibari Muslims, one can hardly avoid referring to various other issues related to this most interesting and unique community in South Africa. This book focuses more on the religious disposition of the Zanzibar community in South Africa. It also takes note of the historical background and the social influences that affected the Zanzibar community. For no other community in South Africa is their religion of greater value than for the Zanzibaris. Not only has it protected them against unjust situations and assisted them in times of real need, it has also kept them together as a community - it is their very life.
