No Hajj for SA: What happens next:
Loading player...
It was heartbreaking for our local hujjaj as they dealt with the news that the hajj is off the cards for this year...it’s something many knew would be an option, but to hear the official decision was still very tough for many pilgrims.
Due to lockdown restrictions, such as the closure of borders, South African Muslims who were planning on embarking on hajj, will no longer be able to do so. This was the decision taken by Sahuc, following a meeting last week. As we know, Saudi Arabia has not made an official decision on hajj known yet.
This of course is unprecedented. Now that hajj is no longer possible for South Africa…what happens next? On Burning Issue tonight, we bring in the South African Hajj Travel Operators Association to unpack this further
