Young Egyptian Qari Set to Enthral SA Muslims

Shaykh Momen Ahmad Almoursy is all set to enthral South Africa’s Muslims with his melodious recitation of the Qur’an at the Mohamediya Masjid in Sparks Road (now Moses Kotane) on the evening of Thursday 23 June. 
Al-Ansaar Foundation in conjunction with South African Qur’aan Union will host the young Qari at the exclusive Qira’ah programme.
  “This is a promising Qari and an inspiration to young and old,” says Shaykh Muntahaa Ebrahim Kenny, Chairman of the South African Qur’aan Union, Cape Town. 
23-year-old Shaykh Momen, who has recited in various parts of the world, was tutored by Ustadh Ahmad Mustafa. He is a graduate of Al-Azhar University and is registered under the Egyptian Ministry of Awqaf as a Qari and Imam.
 The event, which is open to the public, serves to commemorate our country’s Youth Day (16 June) by drawing the youth closer to the Holy Qur’an.
 The programme will begin at 19h00. Ladies facilities provided.

Baba Indaba Soweto and Southern Suburbs!

PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 2010

SOWETO AND SOUTHERN SUBURBS GET READY FOR A GREAT FAMILY DAY OUT AT THE INCREDIBLE SABC EDUCATION BABA INDABA AND KIDS INDABA!

Soweto was a hub of activity during June and July, things may have quietened down around those parts for the moment but Nasrec will soon be alive with the joyful sounds of babies and kids when the SABC Education Baba Indaba and Kids Indaba make their debut appearance in the area! For the first time since their inception, South Africa’s biggest baby and children’s expos will be delighting Soweto and Johannesburg’s southern suburbs. The show will be taking place from 27-29 August 2010.

Parents and grandparents will be treated to the wide and wonderful world of SABC Education Baba Indaba and Kids Indaba which offer everything one could need, in terms of parenting, under one roof. Whether you are looking for funky maternity clothes, beautiful baby outfits, toys, books, accessories or something new and exciting to make your life easier, it can all be found under one roof. Simplifying your life is what this show aims to do! There really is something for everyone – Kids will be entertained and educated by the many wonderful stage shows including Takalani Sesame, granny can have a cup of tea while she keeps them company, mom can ooh and aah over the beautiful jewellery and teddies while dad checks out the latest in parenting gadgets.

As always parents will have access to changing stations, private feeding rooms, expert advice in the Woolies Littleworld Speakers corner and the safety of knowing their child won’t get lost with Kiddy Tags. There will be giveaways galore, with the ultimate prize being the newly introduced Bump & Beyond competition! The show specials and competitions are sure to make even the most sleep-deprived parent beam with delight so get on down to Nasrec!

Not only does this show give all residents of these areas the opportunity to experience the vast mix of education, entertainment and products that the shows have to offer; but it also allows for exhibitors to tap into a new and diverse market. With a population of 1.3 million in Soweto alone and adding to that those who live in the southern suburbs, this is an extensive and previously untapped area that will allow for further brand extension and promotion for exhibitors.

There may be a population of 1.3 million in Soweto but add to that the large amount of young families who move closer to the city for work but who make their way ‘home’ on the weekends. According to recent research, a large number of young people consider Soweto, where they grew up, to be their actual home and they often return there to do their shopping, chores and family outings on the weekend. Don’t miss out on your chance as an exhibitor to talk to a new and varied group of people who are family oriented and wanting to find out more about your product!

The floor at the SABC Education Baba Indaba and Kids Indaba is a great place to launch a product as it offers one on one interaction with interested parents as well as scouts from large retail stores. These shows offer the possibility of planting the seed of your hard work and watching it grow while entrenching your brand in the market. On the back of a record show in Cape Town, which saw 40 000 feet through the door, the inaugural Soweto and Southern Suburbs SABC Education Baba Indaba and Kids Indaba promises to be a huge hit!

Doors open at 9:30 and the show runs each day until 17:00. Tickets can be purchased for R30.00 for adults and children get in free.
