- There are many heroes and heroines of the struggle against apartheid in South Africa, but among the celebrated names of Mandela, Sisulu, Tutu and Biko is one less familiar - Abdullah Haron.
This Muslim leader from Cape Town led a quiet but significant defiance against racist government policies in the 1960s. He was especially politicised by the infamous massacre of 69 Black African protesters at Sharpeville in 1960.
His anti-apartheid activities took him around the world and he established close ties with renowned anti-apartheid figure Canon John Collins, the Dean of St Paul's Cathedral in London.
His work in defiance of apartheid also put him in great danger. He was detained without charge and tortured when he returned to Cape Town. He died while in police custody in 1969 under still-unexplained circumstances; claims by police that he "fell down stairs" - a stock explanation at the time for deaths of political prisoners in police detention - are today countered with overwhelming evidence of his death at the hands of security police.
In this film, Haron's family and others relay the story of the man who became known as "the imam who fought apartheid".

An excellent documentary, I just learned about the hero Haron. Greetings from Cali, Colombia
so many apartheid heros remain unknown ❤
They are the real heroes. Everyone else is a poster boy or girl.
Very true Bru
And do not say about those who are killed in the way of Allah, "They are dead." Rather, they are alive, but you perceive [it] not.
Quraan 2:154
the Apartheid government lend the system from Indian Hindus. the cast system in Indian Hindus that is the same system in Apartheid South Africa. The brahmins ruling India for centuries
What an incredible story of one man's journey to stand up against discrimination despise religion. We need to learn to do the same, wherever there is apartheid/ discrimination/ bigotry we need to stand against it as one
Imam Harun I salute you. You are truly a symbol of humanity a hero. A man of God!
i am proud to be a muslim
from ethiopia countries never colonized by Europeans
Don’t let the lie be your reality bro, Ethiopia was not colonized because of their betrayal of Africans people to the western, the greater Britain told Italian to withdraw from Ethiopia in exchange for information that the Ethiopian the western colonizers in exchange of information about other Africans people because back then there was no countries in Africa was one with no boarders until the European divided Africa in many countries with different boarders, so you need to do your homework well before you jump to the ideology of Ethiopia was never colonized. It shame that Millie Ethiopian believe the lie that Ethiopia was never colonized.
@@makeracistsafraidagain7608 none of use where there ...so let's 4 get about it
@abdulgafar muhiadin mohamed That’s true but there’s a lot of Ethiopian who still believe in that concept thou.
@@makeracistsafraidagain7608 I am a Somali. South African.........ethnic to the eastern part of Ethiopia ....when I ask ma grandparents about colonization they dont even know about it they still leave the way they did thousands of years ago. With their land ..so not all Africans where affected by colonization
@@makeracistsafraidagain7608 there might be some truth to what u saying but I know nothing about that ...all I know is not all Africans fell victim to white people's miss treatment........and for the record we as Africans need 2 stand together
On the authority of Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (RadhiyaAllahu ‘anhu) who said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (SallaAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) say,
“Whosoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then [let him change it] with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart - and that is the weakest of faith.”
[Reported by Muslim]
Brother Imam Haroon certainly lived up to that. May Allah (SWT) reward and bless him the abundance of the Jannah!
