This is an attempt to create a database of all South African nationals who are Qur'aan reciters or memorizers and to document such information in the history of South Africa. The information was gathered from entries in the Qiraa'ah competitions, members and associates of the SA Qur'aan Union, as well as other sources. The tittle 'Haafidh' was reserved for those who are known to have completed the memorization of the Holy Qur'aan. There are literaly hundreds of students that commits the entire Qur'aan to memory every year throughout South Africa and we therefore wish to note each male and female reciter in the country. Updates to the list can be forwarded to info@quranunion.co.za
