April 27, 2007 in South Africa a local hero died

Ismail Abrahams, better known as "Boeta Mylie from Bonteheuwel", died on Friday after a long battle with cancer.

His dying wish was to unite radical Muslim factions with his fellow comrades from the fight against apartheid - such as Finance Minister Trevor Manuel and Rasool, whom he saw "as his son", his family said.

The Islamic people of South Africa were also involved in the Anti-Apartheid Movement. We all know that pressure from a world boycott was necessary to bring about the change long fought for by South Africans, but, that only makes the struggle all the more sweet.

The followers of Ismail Abrahams were among the groups involved in the Anti-Apartheid struggle.

What has come of them?
