No Hajj this year for SA Muslims due to COVID-19

South African Muslims hoping to travel to Mecca for the annual Hajj pilgrimage this year, will be unable to do so.

Due to the lockdown regulations, the borders are still closed and South Africans are unable to travel internationally. 

The pilgrimage to Mecca was scheduled to start on July 28. 

For more on this, we spoke to Shaheen Essop, President of the South African Hajj and Umrah Council.
