Residents protest athaan judgment

Residents of Durban’s Dakota Informal Settlement, are demanding the unbanning

of the Islamic call to prayer, or athaan, at an Isipingo madrassa.

Last week, Chandre Ellaurie, a self-proclaimed Islamophobe, won his court bid,

to have the public airing of the athaan, banned.

The residents say they'll continue protesting, until the call to prayer is re-instated.

Shaykh Ihsaan Taliep, the President, of the United Ulema Council of South Africa,

joined us to share significance of the athaan.
