Continue reading →The SA Camping Club comprises very ordinary people from diverse walks of life and occupations who enjoy the outdoors, camping either in tents or caravans. Camping is always fun, relaxing and enjoyable, but camping with a group of like-minded friends is even better, and also adds that ‘extra little bit of security’. The Club organises monthly rallies to resorts within an hour or two driving from Port Elizabeth, but we do try and take advantage of long weekends and school holidays, and could relax this rule and go further afield.

The Club organizes monthly outings for its members to parks and resorts within two hours travelling, by car, from the centre of their respective regional centres. Activities are informal without obligation, whether it is a special imaginative national team event arranged by an energetic nut or a simple bring and braai. You may enjoy the fun of watching, but for rest and enjoyment you are free to do your own thing!!

This does not mean that you cannot get away for a family holiday, nor does it mean that you are obliged to camp with the Club. Several of our members have become good friends over the years and there are often separate group get-togethers arranged, specifically at venues which cater for particular interests like bird-watching or mountain-biking. The S.A. Camping Club originated in KZN and we are proud to boast some 65 member families, including founder members Ted and Moyra Allbon. Despite the largest membership, actual camp attendance hovers around an average of 12 caravans per Rally, with some venues more popular than others, and 80 percent of attendance attributed to about 25 percent of our members.

We are a group of friends who get together once a month (every month) and camp. We camp in a variety of tents, trailer tents and caravans.
Being a member of a club exposes you to many venues that you would not have thought of going to and also adds that ‘little bit of security’. Membership is limited as to keep the club as intimate as possible. We try to visit as many and varied sites as possible.
Our membership is around 15 active families. As we are a family club we cater for family events during our camping weekends. It’s your choice whether to join in or not. Many members have children and so they enjoy themselves as much as the adults.

Miss Gadija Fredericks and Mrs Nurounihaar Mintin co-ordinated a meeting with the Muslim Judicial Council where Imams, Social Workers and Community Workers, all voiced their concerns and attempted to start a structure to address these concerns.
There was an unanimous appeal for a professional social work agency that would use a model that integrated social science with in the Islamic framework. The meeting resulted in nine Muslims fully committing themselves to the establishment of such a structure.
The primarily aim of this structure was to address marital problems. This was to be achieved through pre-marital counselling, providing a treatment for marriages under stress and providing post divorce guidance for couples (especially women) who were left destitute. The overwhelming need for proper social services in all areas of social disfunctioning let ISWA to broaden its vision to include other counselling as well.
