Dear Kyoshi
Yet again, a fabulous function, and congratulations on a fantastic event,
The speeches by the invited guests were excellent, particularly HRH Prince Dlamini, the charismatic and philanthropic Dr Sooliman, but I was amazed and shocked to hear the "detail" from the SASCOC Financial Director MrMubarak Mohamed presenting the entire situation and outcomes regarding KSA and its corrupt activities.
We were very pleased you took up the case on behalf of our girls, but absolute credit to you that you did this and have changed the future of KSA, for the better. It will be a very interesting and multifaceted Case Study for business students in future years, I am sure. You have achieved many important things in your life, however I feel this is possibly one of the most significant, and your tenaciousness to eradicate fraud and inequality, is to be admired greatly. Congratulation for this major achievement.
Best wishes as always
Jane and van der Merwe Family

Dear Mr Pillay
Once again you have made us feel so much part of your family. Our heartfelt gratitude to you for having us as your guests last night. The function was indeed a great success. How wonderful to be a part of another Skisa function and to hear the wonderful words shared by Mr Murakami when he awarded Imtiaz with such a prestigious award. I am sure that everyone at the function would have wanted to know what Mr Murakami was saying especially since it was in Japanese. Well, when we arrived home in Pietermaritzburg last night, I sat for a bit and read the inscription on the award: "-Humanitarian Award- Presented to Dr Imtiaz Sooliman for outstanding services to humanity around the globe especially for the timeous relief proffered to victims of natural and human disasters by his Gift of the Givers foundation and for being an exemplary apostle of international peace and harmony -SKIF WORLD FEDERATION SALUTES YOU- 29-04-2012."
It is always so humbling for me when I sit in the audience and have the priviledge to hear such wonderful words being said about Imtiaz, a great humanitarian indeed. I smile as I sit back and think of the first time that I met you Mr Pillay and after I had left the graduation of my niece Diya, I recall going home and could not wait to tell Imtiaz about you and the wonderful work that you do for the community at large. I called him whilst driving home and told him all about our meeting. Thanks to little Diya, our relationship has grown into something that I am sure we all treasure.
Although we did not arrive on time to hear the prayer by Anita, we most definitely could feel the spiritual atmosphere last night in the room. It was indeed a blessed evening. Meeting our dear family and friends once again, whom we are fortunate to the share the the platform with, Mr Vivian Reddy; Mr Logie Naidoo; Prof Ndabadaba; Mrs Anita Pillay; Yourself Kyoshi and the Skisa family at large is indeed so wonderful, as both Imtiaz and myself very rarely get to share much time together due to the nature of his work. So it is moments like this that I personally treasure and all thanks to you Mr Pillay.
Congratulations once again to all the recipients of awards last night. It was a memorable evening.
May the Almighty continue to carry you, Mr pillay from strength to strength and may your organisation soar to greater heights. Continue in the wonderful work that you do.. serving the nation at large, unconditionally.
"Best among people are those who benefit mankind"
Best wishes and God speed till we meet again.
Warm regards

Osu Kyoshi Sonny,
Firstly, A heartfelt thank you for the wonderful weekend my wife and I experienced with you and your family and members of SKISA and associates of your Organization. On a personal note I also take this opportunity to express my profound thanks for the Award that you honoured me with at your Banquet. Deeply appreciated.
Your tournament was a roaring success as it always is and like yourself I to am very pleased with the results of the SKISA team. The hard work paid off but also showed the highest of standards I’ve ever seen.
I’m proud of your achievement as a brother Karate-ka and fellow South African.
It was a pleasure to see Murakami Shihan again. He is a true gentleman with a humble yet strong disposition- a Karate-ka with “wa”. Please do convey my fondest regards to him when you next communicate with him.
My best wishes to your wonderful wife and family

Hi Kyoshi,
What a weekend!
Sometimes I a parent in the SKISA org take things for granted, already knowing beforehand that Friday (SKISA AWARDS BANQUET)was going to be spectacular. It was late last night, when we had a few moments at home and re winded on the events, decor, food, ambience , company of amazing people. I personally, admire your attention to detail, and energy to give off, and therefore always appreciate your company, and have the utmost admiration for your organisational skills.
I know there are no other clubs(karate) out there that can host an event like Friday’s . Photo’s don’t do enough justice, one had to be there to appreciate how it all comes together as one amazing evening, that will remain with me forever.
Thank you for all the accolades that has been given to my daughter Priya, and without SKISA none of those achievements would have possible. Going to Morocco for the WKF world champs does not even compare to how special we all felt this weekend at the banquet and brown/black belt technical workshop held on sat/sun
Thank you Kyoshi.
Best Regards,
Vino

Good Day Kyoshi
I just wish to express my heartfelt thanks to you and your association for providing a wonderful service to the community. My son Owen Shaik has been with you association from the age of 5.
I attend all the training sessions, the tournaments and the awards days and have been most impressed by the time and effort you put into these functions to ensure that our children receive nothing but the best. This years function was excellent. My entire family was present and they all had compliments.
I was present at your parents meeting yesterday. I am not the outspoken type to voice my view publically, but would like to express my view in this e-mail.
You mentioned yesterday that most parents are unhappy with the finance aspect. I personally don’t agree with any of them. I think most parents fail to see that Karate is not just a sport, it assists our children with so much more than that.
I enrolled my son Owen in Karate because he was not a sociable child. He excelled in his school work, but was very reserved in class. Lets just say, ever since he has been in Karate, I can’t get him to stop talking. He now participates in international examinations, external Mathematics galas and public speeches and activities. He has received several awards for these.
He is not only fit, but he plays other sport in school and he excels in his school work. He even received an award for an 80% aggregate in school last Thursday.
Karate has improved his communication skills, it has made him more attentive and also assists with his concentration. He is a straight “A” student. He is so disciplined and respectful to everyone at home and school. He is a model student and child. I am so proud.
So yes, if this is what Karate does for my child, I personally believe that the money is no object.
So Well Done ! Keep up the excellent work.
Kind regards
Charlotte Pather
CCC Manager
