SANZAF & MPN

by Raeesah Mamoojee

On Friday 26 February 2010, SANZAF, the South African National Zakaat Fund, held an awards ceremony in recognition of the graduates who received bursaries from the organisation.

The Muslim Professionals Network was invited to introduce the new graduates to the network.

A group of graduates, with a wide range of qualifications, represented the MPN and provided an opportunity to the graduates and other bursary recipients to interact with graduates in their particular field of study.

A small booklet was also drawn up, highlighting CV writing techniques and interview tips that will prove invaluable when the graduates are looking to enter the job market.

The guest speaker on the evening was Professor Adam Habib, while the MPN was also provided a slot at the platform to deliver a short introduction to the MPN as well as provide some inspirational words to the graduates.

The event was a great opportunity to work with SANZAF, an organisation that does continually good work in the Muslim community

The MPN is actively involved with SANZAF on a continuous basis.
