Secretary General of the Jamiatul Ulama South Africa Ml Ebrahim Bham says the release of Gathoo is exceptionally good news.
“We make dua that Allah reunite him with his family in the best possible way and grant him the best of everything and Allah reward him for all the difficulties he had to endure.”
Ml Bham says for Gathoo to be abducted and be away from his family for such a long period of time is a blot on the South African law system.
“We make Dua that Allah grant that system the ability to be able to bring safety and security to its citizens.”
In a statement the Gathoo family has thanked Allah and also the public for their support during the ordeal.
“The family is greatly relieved that he is back, but there is a long road ahead,”
The Gathoo family has urged the public and media to respect the family’s privacy at this time.
