Brief Intro to SANHA

Introduction

South African National Halaal Authority (SANHA) is a national, non-profit-making organisation, representing the Muslim community of South Africa on all matters pertaining to the general application of the term Halaal with specific reference to Islamic dietary laws. SANHA's membership comprises of leading Muslim Theological Bodies and reputable, professional Muslim organisations of South Africa. SANHA has been established as a representative authority, which promotes professionalism and excellence in the certification of Halaal products. SANHA is committed to standardising Halaal procedures both nationally and internationally thereby creating uniformity, eliminating confusion and deception in the market place and making Halaal products accessible to the Halaal-conscious consumer. Indeed, this strategy does not only prove beneficial for the Halaal-conscious consumer but is also a means of promoting trade both nationally and internationally.
