Thesis unpackscomplexity of Islamic text translation
Newly-completed postgraduate research at theUniversity of the WesternCape (UWC) examinesthe complexity of translating Islamic texts.
GraduateMuzzammil Ahmad Farooki examinedthe linguistic,cultural and religiouschallenges faced by translators for his masterofarts in foreign languages at UWC’s Faculty of Arts andHumanities
His research was supervised by Prof TawffeekMohammed, with Dr Mustapha Saidi as co-supervisor.
In histhesis Farookinoted that “translatingIslamic texts and genres, including litanies, supplications and poetry is undoubtedly arigorous task”, whichthisstemmednot only from language differencesbut from the sacred and ideological weight of the texts,many of whichare derived from the Qur’an.
The study analysed adiverse body of Islamic texts, including devotional writings, Qur’anic exegesis (tafsir), prophetic traditions (hadith), sermons, Islamic literature,legal documents and economic andmedia texts.Using a qualitative, corpus-based methodology,
the research assessed both the translation product and process, drawing on theories of equivalence, text linguistics and cognitive translation studies.
Acentral argument of the thesis is that translators cannot rely on asingle method. As Farooki stated: “For the source text to be rendered in the target text successfully the translator must not only be restricted to the use of asingle translation strategy, but rather to skilfully employ various translation strategies in a balanced manner so that equivalence may be achieved.”
Theresearch also showed that “the underlying dimensions are not only lexicogrammatical, but also ideological, cultural, and religious.”This complexity requires translators to make careful decisions about when to preserve cultural specificityand when to adapt texts
Combining textual analysis with processoriented tools that capture pauses, revisions and decision making during translation, the thesis offers practical insightsfor scholars and language practitioners.
Muzzammil Ahmad Farooki,who graduated withaMaster of Arts from UWC,explored thechallenges and strategies involved in translating Islamic textsacrossgenres in his postgraduate research.

Millionsofindigenousplantspoached
KAILINDANIELS
KAILIN.DANIELS@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA
Abriefing to the Western Cape Standing Committee on Environmental Affairs andDevelopment Planning has exposed thealarming scaleofplant poaching, with more than 2,5 million indigenous plants seized since 2018,afigurethat reflects only a fraction of the ongoing environmental crime.
“Since 2018, more than 2,5 million poached indigenous plantshave been seized by law enforcement,”saidDave Bryant,MPP and DA Western Cape spokespersononLocal Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning, “yet this represents only a fraction of what is being stripped from our landscapebyorganised criminal syndicates
“This industrial-scale theft is driving species to extinction in the wild and demandsurgent, coordinated action.”
The presentation by CapeNature highlightedhow the illegal trade in succulents and other high-value species had escalated into asophisticated internationalcriminal enterprise.
Sevenspecies and two subspeciesof Conophytum had already been lost in their natural habitatsdue to poaching, marking what officials described as anirreversible blow to South Africa’s biodiversity.
FROMCOLLECTORSTOCRIMINALSYNDICATES
What began as small-scale,opportunistic collectingbyinternationalenthusiasts has evolved dramatically over the past decade.
Before 2020foreign collectors travelled to South Africa to source rareplants themselves. Today, organised syndicates rely onlocal intermediariestorecruit poachers and fulfil targeted “special
CapeNature identified global demand for rare ornamentalsucculents as akey driver of the surge in poaching.
“Morerare or unique meansmore valuable,” the presentation noted, highlighting howonline platforms enable illegal tradetoflourish.
Atthe same timesocio-economic pressures are making local communities vulnerable.
“Poaching is seenaslow-riskand highincome, quick money for short periods in the veld,” CapeNature said.
The environmentalconsequences are already severe,CapeNature told Nova News.“Sevenspecies andtwo subspecies have been poached to extinctioninthe wild since2020.”
Monitoring has shown drastic declines in plant populations, with large portions of the Conophytumgenus now critically endangered.
Authoritieswarned thatplant poaching is linked to broader organised crime
“Syndicates involved in succulent poaching are alsolinked to abalone, rhino horn, ivory smuggling anddrug trafficking,” the briefing revealed.
High-value species suchas Clivia mirabilis are being smuggled through the Limpopo border disguised as common agricultural products, suchassugar cane, to reach international markets where they canfetch 10 times their local value.
“These syndicates operate with precision, oftendeploying groups of 75 to 150 poachers in asingle night, treating ourprovince’s unique biodiversity as a common currency for organised crime,”
Bryant said.
LAWENFORCEMENTUNDERPRESSURE
Despite increased seizures enforcement agencies face significant constraints.
“Thereisnodedicated investigation unit within CapeNature,” the organisation said, “and officers are required to perform multiple functions.”
CapeNature highlighted interventions including improvedcamera networks, K9 units andinter-agencycollaboration.
“Good cooperation with law-enforcement agencies andinternational partners is key.
“CapeNature together with our partners are slowly but surely winning the Green Gold War.”
However, Bryant stressed that stronger action was needed, calling for a coordinated, government-wide response to protect the province’s biodiversity from further irreversible loss. “To combat the severe manpower shortages facing rural units, thereisaneed for the expanded use of technology as aforce multiplier. Drone programmes in the City of Cape Town have already proven theirefficacy, demonstrated by the successful tracking of poachers across vast distances, from Robben Island to theirlanding points in Hout Bay at night. By using fixed-wing drones and real-time surveillance we can bridge the current enforcement gaps and provide wide-scale protection for our most vulnerable ecological zones.”

THINKING OUTLOUD SLICEOFLIFE
Socks,storms and stubborn summer vibes
Winter has officially arrived. Youcan feel it in theearly morning chill, see it in the grey skies rolling in,and hear it in the steady rhythm of rain against thewindows. For some, it’s aseasonto endure. For me, it’s one to embrace. There’s something deeply comforting about winter. It invites you to slow down, to trade the rush of summer for quieter moments. To wrap yourself in blankets, cradle awarm cup of coffee,and sitalittle longer beside the fireplace while the world outside turns cold and wet
But this past weekend, winter reminded us that it is not always gentle. Heavy rains battered parts of thecity, leaving floodingand damage in their wake. For many families, the season did not arrive with cosy blankets and warmdrinks, but with risingwater, soaked belongingsand uncertainty. My heart goes out to those who have been affected —especially thosewho havelost their homes or have nowhere to go. It’s astark reminder that while winter can feel magicalfor some, it canbeincredibly harsh for others. It puts things into perspective.
Because while I’mlightingafire and reaching foranotherjersey,thereare people trying to stay dry, trying to stay warm, trying to hold onto whatthey have And inside my home, winterlooks very different. My three-year-old sonisfirmly convinceditisstill summer
Every morning beginswitha negotiation —socks being the main point of contention. To him, they areunnecessary and deeply offensive. To me,they are essential. “Just try them,” Isay,holding
outasmall pair. “No,” he replies, without hesitation.
Then comes the wardrobe debate. While I’m layering up, he’s pointing atshorts andT-shirts as if the weather outside is merely asuggestion. Explaining winter to atoddler is no easy task.
“It’s cold,” Itell him. “Butthe sun is there,” he says, pointing outthe window. And in his mind, that settles it. Because sun means one thing: beach.
So when Iexplain that we can’tgo, the confusionisreal. Why would anyone not go to the beach if the sun is visible? It’s a fair question —one that logic struggles to answer when you’rethree years old
After one such conversation, he paused, looked up at the sky, and asked, “Is the sun on holiday?” And just like that, winter made perfect sense.
Because that’s exactlywhatitfeels like sometimes —like the sun has taken abreak, leaving clouds, wind andrain behind.Itstill makes the occasional appearance,just enough to remind us it hasn’t disappeared entirely But it doesn’t linger. Itriedtoexplain this to him —that the sun is still there, just not as warm, not as strong.Hewasn’t convinced. In hisworld, things are simple. Warm means outside. Sun means beach. Socks are optional.
The recent flooding has reminded us how vulnerable so many people are when the rains come.And maybe that’s the balance winter asksofus— to find comfort wherewecan, while remaining aware of those who cannot. To be grateful,but not unaware. So whileIsit with mycoffeeand my blanket, and continue the daily battle oversocks, I’m holding space forboth realities. Thecosy and the difficult. The laughter and theloss.
And somewhere in between, asmall voicestill asking whether the sun will be back from holiday tomorrow. Itell him yes. Even if, for now, winterishereto stay.
