Less than a month before her scheduled date in front of a military court on 7 August, SANDF Major Fatima Isaacs has received the official charges against her from a military prosecutor. A Cape Argus report says Isaacs, charged with ‘wilful defiance and disobeying a lawful command’ over wearing a headscarf, appeared before the military prosecutor at the Court of Military Justice at the Castle of Good Hope, accompanied by her legal team, Advocates Igshaan Higgins – an expert on Muslim personal law – and his colleague Roseline Nyman. The Muslim Judicial Council this month said it would be taking the SANDF to the Human Rights Commission after the army banned Isaacs from wearing her scarf at work.
