Asslamo Allaikum Brother,
You have been affected by the Politics of South Africa.
Hazrat Shaykh (Mufti) A. S. Desai (HA) has some personal issues with certain Ulama which he voices on every oppurtunity, every day and repeatedly.
This second UUCSA issued an apology for moon sighting and cuased confusion!
Who is right and who is wrong (who knows!)
I suggest that you also stay out of politics. If the Ulama of South Africa (in large numbers) give an opinion on SANHA (then that's fine) but so far your research is mistaken!
SANHA is backed by other Ulama. If Darul-uloom Binori Town are backing them then do you think you know more about South Africa???
So extending your logic let us summarise some important points:

How about the simple matter of consulting your local Ulama instead of Canadians, South Africans, Americans, Indians and British Muslims for a Fatwa on a product which is native to your country?
I am Sorry but are you saying that Ulamah are giving a Fatwa of something being Halal when they are not "Sure"?
Is this right or maybe your standards are too high and you think that the Ulama are not matching your standards of Taqwa?
Your query was sent to Shaykh (Mufti) Yusuf Abdur-Razaq Iskander Saheb (HA) who is the head of Halal Authority of Pakistan. He is the son of Shaykh (Dr) Abdur-Razaq Iskander (Principle of Binori Town, Karachi) and Mufti Saheb (HA) replied (translated into English):
Much of Vanilla is imported into Pakistan. Please reply specifically with the brand name and product details for a response.
I am Sorry if I have missed your response (earlier) but please respond now with product details so a reply text can be sent to Mufti Saheb.
They asked the question on my behalf and all the information which was given is in the post.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
Please wait...
