1 SANHA ANNUAL REPORT 1441/2019

Foreword

In The Name of Allah Most Gracious, Most Merciful

We praise Almighty Allah, Our Creator and Master, who guided us to the Path of Righteousness. Special Salawaat and Choicest Salaam be upon our Master, Hazrat Muhammed, his noble family and illustrious companions, and upon all those who follow their guidance and teaching. Eating Halaal is fulfilment of a Divine commandment, a source of blessing that will make good deeds easier for us, clear the way for our duas to be answered and a path to the ultimate goal of Salvation. Consuming Halaal is a testimony to our belief in Allah Ta’ala and his Revelation. Laxity of this places a serious question on our sincerity and belief, and can be likened to following the footsteps of Shaytaan. It is stated in the Noble Quran, “O you People! Eat of what is on earth, Halaal and pure, and do not follow the footsteps of the Satan; Indeed, for he is to you an open enemy (Chapter 2 verse168)”. With rapid globalization, wide scale industrial production techniques are utilized to feed the world. Food produced in many countries travel long distances to reach our homes. Thousands of substances are deliberately added to food to increase their desirability to withstand processing, packaging, storing and transporting of the products. To ensure the integrity of the Halaal assurance, a complex infrastructure of sound management and administration with juristic acumen, competent and knowledgeable staff operating under a banner of financial transparency with oversight by an honorary and independent Trustee stewardship has to be a mandatory requirement. In this respect SANHA proudly taps into the legacy left behind by those chosen by Almighty Allah to be the teachers of Mankind i.e. The Prophets (peace be upon them). When the Divine missions of these “guiding men” (peace be upon them) ended with the finality of the Prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him) the mantle of perpetuating the mission did not fade into oblivion. Instead by the Will of Allah it passed on to the Pious Scholars, the Ulama, a process which continues to this day Their many years of intense training and study of Islamic discipline at the highest level equips and elevates them to assume the leadership role of the community without fear or favour, transcending tribalism, sectionalism, nationalism and man-made ideologies. They are well-versed in jurisprudence, sciences of the study of the Noble Quran, the Hadith which is the traditions of the Prophet peace be upon him and are teachers and Imams of their communities. Of our Trustees an overwhelming 73% are from the Ulama fraternity. SANHA further taps into this collective independence and righteous leadership of the Ulama by ensuring that a major portion of the SANHA team are drawn from the broader Ulama fraternity. Their Islamic integrity in accordance with their role of the inheritors of the Prophets (peace be upon them) serves as an additional safeguard for independent ongoing review and a conscience check of our systems in ensuring the highest standard of Halaal. The SANHA Executive and indeed the community is immensely proud of the decades of selfless role of its honorary Trustees and salutes them for their commitment and dedication. May Allah Almighty allow the membership and operations of SANHA grow from strength to strength for generations to come. SANHA EXECUTIVE

Chairman’s Address

‘Lessons from the Grave’

All praise is due to Allah and may His choicest salutations continue to descend upon our Master and Leader

Mohamad (saw).

“When a man dies, his deeds come to an end, except for three: Continuous charity, knowledge by

which people derive benefit, and a pious child who prays for him.” [Muslim]

The SANHA brand gains it intrinsic worth from the sacrifices of its founding fathers and their ceaseless

efforts to promote and protect the integrity of Halaal. It derives its worth from the selfless passionate

spirit of its pioneers which is meticulously interwoven into the fabric of the organization. The sudden

demise of one of its founding fathers, Hajee Suleman Mahomedy (May Allah fill his grave with noor), has left

an immeasurable void within the echelons of SANHA and has brought to the fore some very significant

lessons for the long term sustainability, not only of SANHA, but for all organizations.

Long-term sustainability in today’s environment requires a dedicated focus on strategic goals, an eye

toward the future, the ability to be flexible, and a relentless focus on systems, structures and procedures

in order to adapt, survive and most importantly, thrive. We were able to withstand the volatility post the

sudden demise of our Executive Officer because of several factors, some of which are:

Personality Centred to Policy Driven Management

In personality-driven organizations, strategic direction, priorities, and organizational structure often

depend on the skills and preferences of a select few. Personality-driven organizations are particularly

vulnerable when those personalities are out of sync with the rest of the organization or when they

leave, or retire. When a key staff person leaves an organization, there often is no one else who has

the access, knowledge, and experience necessary to carry on that person’s work. Clear, concise and

written policies help maintain consistency in operations and relieve leadership from the need to

micromanage. Organizations that invest in their processes and infrastructure – independent of any

specific people – are often more sustainable and effective. Problems are solved by examining

processes, rather than blaming people. Work is completed according to agreed upon priorities and

processes, not personalities or personal preferences.

Succession planning

Succession plans are used to address inevitable changes that occur when staff resign, retire, get sick,

or die. They make sure the organization is prepared for all contingencies by identifying and training

high-potential workers for advancement into key roles. In the business world, companies frequently

use succession planning to ensure they are able to quickly fill key positions with qualified candidates.

The goal is to minimize the disruption to company operations when vital personnel retire or leave

the firm. It's also a manageable event, not a major organizational crisis. Managing Directors, chief

operating officers and other essential management team members can fall ill, resign, immigrate or

die whist your organisation needs to be able to continue functioning without detrimental results. The

focus of succession planning should, however, not only be related to addressing potential unforeseen

incidents, but also be implemented by design.

https://sunnah.com/riyadussaliheen/7/55


Institutional Memory

Each time someone leaves their job, a chunk of the organisation's memory leaves too. This "corporate

amnesia" can have serious consequences. “Institutional memory loss is a significant problem that can

impact an organization’s ability to advance its mission successfully, its ability to avoid making the

same mistakes it made in the past, and its ability to leverage the accomplishments of departing

employees” (Coffey & Hoffman) Human resource experts have shown that employees who leave an

organization take a substantial amount of invaluable business and operational knowledge, as well as

organizational and political contacts and connections with them. It's difficult to replace or duplicate

by organizations, especially when internal systems to retain, replace or document it are non-existent.

Very few metrics or measures exist to quantify the loss-or value-of institutional knowledge,

continuity and history.

Records Management

A records management process is comprised of identifying records, classifying records, and storing

records, as well as coordinating internal and external access. Records Management ensures that

institutional records of vital historical, fiscal, and legal value are identified and preserved whilst non-

essential records are discarded in a timely manner according to established guidelines. Records

Management provides institutional accountability and timely access to information. Records are the

memory or proof of activities being carried out regarding the organisation. Records also keep track

of communications within and without the organisation. Like our own memory, records should be

accessible swiftly when needed.

Conclusion

We were able to withstand a period of great instability and overcome uncertainty at the demise of

our Executive Officer precisely because he supported the need to migrate from personality centric

management to a policy driven administration, he also identified with the need for succession planning

by willingly sharing information. The seamless continuity of the organization and its ability to adapt

to a profound environmental change as a result of his demise, were made possible because of his

extraordinary skill for record keeping. Unfortunately, we may have lost a great chunk of institutional

memory that has gone with him to his grave.

We have opportunity to immortalize his contribution to SANHA by ensuring that we keep alive his

legacy, characterised by dedication, loyalty and honesty. We pay tribute to an individual whose name

became synonymous with SANHA. Allah fill his grave with noor and forgive his shortcoming.

(Ameen)

Secretarial Report

All Praise is due to Allah Subhanahu wa Taala, our Cherisher, Creator and Sustainer and

may His Choicest Salawaat and Salaam be showered upon His most beloved Messenger,

Our Master Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam, upon his family, his

illustrious Sahabah and upon all those who tread the exemplary path of the Sunnah.

It gives me great pleasure to present to you the Secretarial Report for SANHA. This platform once

again gives us the opportunity to reflect on the challenges, milestones, achievements and

disappointments of the last year for the members and the organisation as a whole. The 2019 year has

been exceptionally challenging and yet rewarding for both SANHA and the Muslim communities at

large.

The core thrust of SANHA’s activity has always been to create Halaal awareness among all role players,

make Halaal products widely accessible thereby securing and preserving the right of Muslims to

consume Halaal.

Significant progress has been made on the various initiatives undertaken to date and SANHA requests

the Duahs of all our brothers and sisters countrywide as we strive to contribute positively to our

society. An overview of some of the key projects is set out below:

Community consultations – Engaging and building a stronger relationship with all SANHA’s

member organizations and their constituencies as well as other Muslim and non-Muslim

community-based organizations.

Halaal Certification services – offering a commercially viable proposition to producers and retailers

through constant engagement with industry.

Digital Presence and improvement – SANHA is continually aiming to maintain a stronger digital

presence through its own website and various social media channels. SANHA aims to become a

central source for Halaal product information to the Muslim consumer in South Africa.

Media representation – SANHA, as one of the respected Halaal authorities in South Africa, has

developed strong relations with various media outlets in the country. We constantly engage with

media in dialogue to ensure communities are kept updated with matter regarding Halaal

compliance, and we strive to adopt a proactive approach with the media.

Support Services – SANHA continues to offer a range of support services to its member societies.

These include engaging the hierarchy of member organizations and presentation to their members

and assistance with ventures that are aligned to SANHA’s core functions.

Our service strength lies in the fact that we have a very diverse, well qualified and committed staff

complement who work as a team to deliver on our priorities and serve our communities to the best of

our abilities.


As a community based organisation established to serve our communities needs, our administration

team in particular plays a vital role in service delivery. The office staff are to be congratulated for their

energetic and responsive efforts to deliver upon the professional levels of client services sought by our

membership. We are most privileged to have a dedicated team of staff who continually strive to

improve all aspects of our operations and community services.

We wish to thank everyone for their support, community spirit, conviction and vigor throughout the

term. I wish to also thank all SANHA members and the staff that have supported us throughout the

year and express our appreciation for their dedicated services.

May Allah accept all our feeble efforts and guide us in the time we have left so that we may attain his

pleasure and acceptance.

RIAZ JALAL


Chief OperatingOfficer’s Report

In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the Merciful. All praise and gratitude are due to Allah. May

his blessings be upon our beloved Muhammad (SAW), his noble family, illustrious companions and ardent

followers.

Alhamdulillah, SANHA has a proud and rich history.

From the purpose and intent behind its’ formation, through to the credibility that it has built over the

years, SANHA can look back to an inspiring legacy. The organisation was built on a sound foundation,

with a noble Niyyah and guided by Shari’ah principles. The effort and sacrifices of those involved in

SANHA over the years is well documented and rightfully acknowledged.

SANHA enjoys respect as a credible Halaal Certification Body and the brand has wide recognition in South

Africa and Internationally.

Juxtaposed against this solid foundation, however, is the constantly evolving, and sometimes even volatile

social, political and economic environment in which SANHA operates.

As important as it is to acknowledge the legacy of SANHA, it is equally imperative to embrace the

inevitability of evolutionary change that is needed to survive in an evolving environment.

The events that were triggered by 911 have ironically thrust a spotlight on Islam that has led to an

explosion in the awareness of, and curiosity about the Muslim way of life. The information boom has

added impetus to this with the Halaal Industry benefiting from this increased awareness and growing to a

$3 trillion per annum Industry.

“Halaal” is the latest buzzword being recognised by business and government alike, and the Halaal

industry, by being aligned to healthy living, ethical economics and partnership banking is increasingly

viewed as economically viable.

Unfortunately, the public exposure of Halaal has also given rise to detractors, who have embarked on

campaigns that denigrate the idea of Halaal.

The impact of social media has also been a game changer. The public is exposed to vast quantities of

information (and sometimes misinformation). This creates pressure on organisations to strategically assess

both the tone and speed at which they respond to public comment. The social media platforms for public

discourse are particularly challenging because of the lack of control over the media.

The generational change in the workforce places further demands on organisations to implement new

strategies to attract, motivate and retain the best people in the organisation. The new workforce demands

a balanced lifestyle, seeks growth and learning opportunities and hands-on leadership.

SANHA, like all organisations, has to evolve its modus operandi to embrace these changes.


Alhamdulillah, during the current reporting period, and extending beyond that, a number of initiatives

were started, or built on, that demonstrated an appreciation of this need to evolve. This was done against

the backdrop of the following key themes:

1. Excellence and Empowerment through encouraging greater accountability across all levels of the

organisation.

2. Understanding through better reporting and intelligence gathering and analysis.

3. Inclusivity through encouraging participation at all levels.

4. Efficiency through thorough review of systems, policies and processes.

5. Education through various public and private outreach programmes.

KEY ACTIVITIES FOR THE PERIOD:

1. The introduction of a full time HR Department in March 2018 has resulted in many ad-hoc HR

procedures being formalized. These include recruitment and selection, induction and disciplinary

codes and procedure among others. The HR Department seeks to assist in developing a synergistic

relationship between management and employees in order to achieve organizational goals.

2. A Strategic Session was held over 2 days in January, where senior management agreed on the Key

objectives and initiatives for the subsequent calendar year.

3. Regular Executive Committee and monthly Senior Management meetings are held in addition to the

required Trustee’s meetings.

4. A review of the systems and technology of SANHA was approved, resulting in an external consultant

being engaged to conduct a full audit.

5. SANHA continues to offer free advice and training in the field of Halaal. The following organisations

were trained in the past year:

a. SEYHA (Seychelles Halaal Authority)

b. IFTA students: various Darul Ulooms in GP attend training.

c. SPCA - Training on Mobile Slaughtering

d. South African Association of the Flavour and Fragrance Industry (SAAFFI)

e. Nigerian Ulama

f. Sierra Leon Aalim.

g. Training of staff of certified plants is conducted regularly. Training is done on Islamic Dietary

Law, Audit Process and Procedures and Muslim Staff Duties and responsibilities.

6. EVENTS/SHOWS ATTENDED: These events provide an opportunity to showcase SANHA’s

offerings, as well as lend support to establishments certified by SANHA

a. Hartley Fair


b. IFEA / Hostex

c. Gulfood

d. Food & Hotel Indonesia

e. MIHAS

f. Iran Agrofood

g. Africa Big 7

h. Festival of Fashion and Halaal Foods

i. Minara Awards

7. OUTREACH PROGRAMMES

One of the key Strategic Initiatives agreed on is the need to educate stakeholders and the public about

Halaal. A number of outreach programmes were held in an attempt to fulfil this initiative.

a. MUSJID PROGRAMMES

i. Middleburg

ii. Houghton (Ummah heart)

iii. Northcliff

iv. Roshnee

vi. University of JHB – Qurbani

vii. Houghton Muslim Academy – Qurbani

viii. University of Witswatersrand – Qurbani

ix. Robertsham Maktab - Qurbani

c. Launch of 16 trifold colour leaflets following numerous requests. This included revamping many

of our existing leaflets.

d. Musjid Times is a brief direct message sent monthly to Imaans and Musaajid- 6 editions were

produced for the period.

e. Flash News is an incisive, no commercial, regular electronic newsletter covering topical issues

sent to subscribers - 10 editions were produced for the period.

f. E-bulletins are Multi-faceted electronic newsletter for the entire family featuring competitions,

reviews, interesting snippets, recipes, views and news - 5 editions were produced for the period.


g. Halaal Gazettes are a premium quarterly Halaal newsletter. 4 pager A4 size in full colour with a

confirmed print order of 100,000 copies per edition – 2 editions were produced for the period.

OUR STATISTICS AT A GLANCE

1. 123 staff on our payroll and 21 outsourced Auditors

2. 2099 establishments certified.

3. 1834 flavours certified in 2018, with a total of 14915 certified flavours.

4. 33 640 ingredients evaluated in 2018.

5. 757 export certificates issued in 2018, up from 486 in 2017.

6. 25 423 queries received from the public.

7. 17 545 audits conducted in 2018, an increase of 13% on 2017.

8. 54 520 social media subscribers.

9. 428 new applications received in 2018, compared to 325 in 2017.

As is evident from the above statistics, every one of the 140 odd paid employees of SANHA, together

with the Executive and Trustees are fully occupied with the critical functions required to ensure that the

Public has the assurance that all establishments certified by SANHA are fully compliant with the

requirements of Halaal.

I express my immense gratitude to each and every one of them for their commitment to the cause, and

remind us all of our vision to always conduct ourselves in a manner that is pleasing to our Rabb, and to

strive for excellence in our endeavors to serve the Ummah.

We also convey our sincere gratitude to the consumers who continue to support and rely on us to provide

an accurate evaluation of the Halaal status of the products and establishments that we audit. It is a duty

we take very seriously.

May Allah reward all involved and forgive us our shortcomings.

I end my report by paying homage to Marhoom Uncle Solly, who suddenly and sadly left us earlier this

year. The impact of the role he played in SANHA will be felt and appreciated for many years to come.

May Allah reward him for his efforts and grant him the highest stages in Jannah.

Was salaam

Treasurer’s Report

Praise be to Allah the Most Kind and Most Merciful.

Alhamdulillah it is with the help of Allah that after another successful year we find ourselves hosting our

SANHA AGM in Cape Town. I am pleased to report that SANHA still commands high respect in the

eyes of the consumer, and all of this confirms our goal in delivering on its promise of serving the Ummah

with excellence. We maintained our high standards of accountability and decision making.

It is with deep sorrow that we had to witness the loss of our close friend and one of the driving forces at

SANHA, the Executive Officer, the Late Mr Solly Mahomedy who tirelessly devoted his energies for the

greater good for SANHA.

The need for a Chief Operating Officer (COO) was identified in the previous financial year and through

the Grace of Allah, we successfully appointed Naseem Kathrada to take on this new position, to move

SANHA forward in areas of governance, financial viability and accountability. One of the outcomes of

this successful appointment was the introduction of the Human Resource Department (HR), to

strengthen this important department in the future. The benefits are already visible in this regard.

I would like to present the Treasurers Report and the Audited Financial Statements for the year ended 28

February 2019.

2019 was another successful year for SANHA, delivering outstanding value and service. Annual turnover,

representing largely certification income, was R27,864,237, an increase of 8.15% from 2018. Operating

Expenses totalled R25,465,513 resulting in a net surplus of R2,391,021.

Employee costs (including consultancy) increased by 8% confirming SANHA’s commitment of

remunerating staff in line with industry norms, in spite of the harsh economic conditions. Employee costs

totalled R17,005,291 which accounted 66% of total expenditure.

At this juncture, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow office bearers who selflessly

supported me in drafting a more formalised approach in managing the finances at SANHA.

The Gulf Accreditation Centre (GAC) process has opened doors for SANHA both locally and

internationally, allowing us to maintain high international standards and to incorporate food safety within

our Halaal certification, ably headed by Hafez Paruk. We have also taken on a few other Quality Assurance

(QA) projects required in our industry. The ability to issue global certification for the various export

industries has opened the opportunity to receive additional income.

2019 is best described as the year of financial discipline both in terms of focusing on good governance and

positioning SANHA for the coming years. We are looking forward to the new year to implement the

changes that are being made and driven, taking into account the impact of technological advancements

and the ever present fourth industrial revolution on the industry. The need for constant analysis of systems

and processes in line with cost saving initiatives are key, to ensure that we maintain our high standards of


control and management of funds available for use. Prudent spending and cost containment ensure we

maintain our growth. Our resolve to ensure sustainability is evident in our finances and we want to take

these opportunities to build a platform from which we can forge ahead.

The implementation of financial policies and budgets were crucial to ensuring that SANHA becomes a

self-sustainable service provider for the Muslim Community. Declaring the coming year as the year of

change and restructuring, SANHA, through the Trustees and Executives, is on a direction towards the

achievement of shared vision for the organization. With the introduction of the Financial Officer last

month, the finance department is on a course to securing a healthy balance in the organisation.

I wish to express my gratitude and appreciation on behalf of the Trustees and Executive Board, to all the

employees of SANHA for their hard work and efforts in maintaining the high standards which we strive

to uphold on a day-to day basis. I personally want to sincerely extend my gratitude to office bearers for

diligently giving their commitment, time, resources and support without expecting anything in return.

Most importantly, our success lies with the support received from the Muslim consumer, without this

support, SANHA would never be able to achieve success. Let this year be the year of renewal,

revitalization and inclusive growth.

Finally, we record our ultimate thanks to The Almighty for His Guidance and granting His Favours to

fulfil our duties.

With thanks

O.F. Moola
