About SANZAF Zakah

South Africa’s National Zakat Fund (SANZAF) is a religious, educational and welfare organization that collects and distributes Zakat and Sadaqát to help the Muslim community. For 43 years, SANZAF has been helping poor and needy families and assisting communities in empowerment and promotion.

Sharia law defines 8 categories of zakaah recipients, including those in need; the poor; debtors; reversals; walkers; imprisoned people; zakaah administrators and those who struggle on the path of Allah.

SANZAF Zakah Scholarship is a scholarship for students who have financial difficulties and cannot afford the cost of higher education.

Shortlisted candidates will be contacted and invited to participate in an interview.

Please note that candidates will need to pay the registration fee separately.
