Marsad offers condolences to the family of Yusuf Ahmed Deedat

The Muslim Minorities Monitor mourns the loss of the South African scholar Yousuf Ahmed Deedat who passed away on Friday 17/1/2020 in result of an assassination that took place on Wednesday morning 15/1/2020 in Verulam, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

As we offer our sincerest condolences to the family of Mr. Deedat, we emphasise on the importance of conducting a thorough investigation to track down his murderer and bring them to justice, without negligence as was the case with Filipino scholar “Abddullah Bedejim” who was assassinated in the Philippines over a year ago.

The Monitor also calls upon the South African authorities to maintain seriousness, transparency and integrity in the search for Mr. Deedat’s murderer; to maintain the social peace of which South Africa is well-known as an example of Muslims’ coexistence with other societies in South Africa
