question for everyone and not just for the brother i quoted above....

why do we follow south africa if we cannot see the moon in UK due to adverse weather, when we keep emphasising that we should sight the moon locally and if it is not sighted then complete a full month and then start the new month the next day? why do we follow south africa?

Because we as Hanafis don't have any problems with global sighting and in South Africa (due to its geographical position) it can be seen better.
