The South African National Defence Force has finally agreed to amend its uniform policy to allow Muslim women, to wear their hijab as part of their uniform.
It’s a major victory for Major Fatima Isaacs, who has waged a three-year battle to be allowed to wear her headscarf under her military beret.
During this long and lonely battle she reached out to Nazeema Mohamed, a labour consultant who agreed to help her fight the charges.
Mohamed spoke to us on Friday and says she believes this is a victory against discrimination.
