We have been asked as to why SANHA involves itself with trade exhibitions.

SANHA was founded 18 years ago as a nationally represented Halaal Authority. With the support and guidance of a broad spectrum of Ulama, SANHA’s aim was to be above cultural, geographical and petty politics and refuse to serve vested business interests. Instead, its aim was to make Halaal products widely available and accessible.

This principle was to alleviate the hardships experienced by the minority Muslim community in sourcing Halaal products, consumption of which is an article of their faith, and also to give traders an opportunity to reap the rewards of growing this niche market. Accordingly, every opportunity is utilised in vigorously pursuing this principle and assistance is offered in making this a reality.

Cognisant of the fact that the consumption of Halaal is a religious requirement subscribed to by a fifth of mankind and transcends national boundaries, SANHA has endeavoured to build bridges between suppliers and consumers through institutions committed to this ideal.

One such institution and the Big Daddy of them all is the AFRICA’s BIG SEVEN (AB7) which is to be held this year at Gallagher Estate from the 22-24 June 2014 with its time tested amalgam of 7 leading shows co-located under one roof. Organised by Exhibition Management Services with its proud 30-year-old track record, AB 7 together with SAITEX has a specialised focus on the A-Z of the food and related industries with a thousand exhibitors and draws up to 17,000 visitors from 60 countries.

SANHA invests substantial resources and time in this very important platform in creating a specialist SANHA pavilion and encourages its certified plants and subscribers to utilise this window of opportunity as both exhibitors and visitors, to seek out new technologies, latest trends, purchase or sell products and establish partnerships. It’s a boon and many a success story has already been told by exhibitors and buyers. Shouldn’t yours be one of them?

The Noble Quran and example of our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) encouraged trade and Halaal earnings. Surah an-Nisaa, Verse 29 of the Noble Quran reads:

"… let there be amongst you traffic and trade by mutual goodwill."
