South Africa embraces Islam in Gaza
She cannot articulate her emotions; she is on the verge of breaking
down. This was the state of former Miss South Africa (1976), Lynne
Massyn, when she spoke of her embracing Islam.
In front of 10,000 guests and 450 graduating students, Lynne proclaimed
the Shahada or testimony of Faith during a graduation ceremony at the
Islamic University of Gaza on Tuesday night.
She was part of a humanitarian group in Gaza representing the South
African Relief Agency (SARA), under the leadership of Sheikh Walid
as-Saadi. Lynne accompanied the organisation as a fellow humanitarian.
She says her interest in Islam and Muslim people began around a year
and a half ago when she joined the group as the media liaison officer.
“During this time I found out about Palestine, courtesy of Walid
as-Saadi, and I just felt the surge of Islam among these people that
was so welcoming and wonderful to me,” she described.
Her proclamation of the Shahada was televised and broadcast over
various Arab stations.
