#TOPSCHOLAR - : From Car Guard to UKZN’s Top Researchers’ List

Mogamad Ganief Ebrahim Hendricks was born and raised in District Six.

He is the Leader of Al Jama-ah party he founded in 2007. Al Jama-ah is the only Muslim political party to have obtained a seat in Parliament. Mr Hendricks is a tsaunch sunni who learned his Aqeeda from the best Ulema.

He was exposed to politics at a very young age by his activist mother, Gairooneesa Ally Hendricks. His deceased parents were Imam Shaikh Ebrahim Latiff from Durban and Ghairoenisaa who was also known as Mrs Shaikh. During the 1960s the Latiff family was forced to change their surname to Hendricks to avoid being deported to Natal. Hendricks maternal and paternal grandparents hailed from Johannesburg where they were anti-apartheid activists.

As a young boy he accompanied his mother on visits to political prisoners and meetings. Often, he had to give up his bed to “visiting” political activists on the run from the security; and to the Gogos who travelled to Cape Town to visit their loved ones incarcerated on Robben Island.

#TUESDAYTAKEOVER

More than 5,000 people have been killed with tens of thousands injured across Turkey and Syria after a magnitude-7.8 earthquake and powerful aftershocks struck. The first earthquake hit at 4:17am (01:17 GMT) and was centred in Turkey’s Pazarcik district of Kahramanmaras province. Less than 12 hours later, a second 7.6-magnitude tremor rocked the same region.



Turkish authorities say some 13.5 million people were affected in an area spanning roughly 450 km from Adana in the west to Diyarbakir in the east, and 300 km from Malatya in the north to Hatay. Syrian authorities have reported deaths as far south as Hama, some 250 km from the epicenter.

World Health Organization Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says this is now a race against time and every minute, every hour that passes, diminishes the chances of finding survivors alive.

Turkey-Syria Earthquake

Pregnancy can be a time of joy — and stress. Research suggests that about between 21% and 47% of South African women experience depression during pregnancy, and 31% to 50% suffer postnatal depression, compared to the global rate of approximately 12% of women experiencing depression during or after pregnancy. Rates might be higher in low and middle income countries.



But in most cases, depression during pregnancy often goes unrecognised.  And because some symptoms of depression, including changes in sleep, energy level, appetite and libido, are similar to symptoms of pregnancy this might be attributed to the pregnancy, rather than depression.



There's also a tendency to focus more on women's physical health during pregnancy, rather than mental health.
