South African-born Dr. Mohamed M. Keshavjee, a lawyer by profession, is a graduate of Queen’s University, Canada and the School of Oriental and African Studies, London University. He was a former member of the Steering Committee of the World Mediation Forum. He lectures on Alternative Dispute Resolution and Islamic Law at The Institute of Ismaili Studies, London, where he is presently a member of the Board of Governors.

Dr. Keshavjee's memoir, Into that Heaven, tells the story of the struggle for equality in South Africa and the two moral giants, Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela, it produced in its wake. It describes the Indian Muslim community’s contributions to Africa in the midst of their struggle for human rights. The book has a foreword by Ahmed Kathrada, the longest-serving human rights prisoner alive today, who spent 26 years in prison with Nelson Mandela.
