Welcome to Burning Issue this evening, where we keep the pulse on issues relevant to our community. In tonight’s show, we bring you a hajj special, where we look back at this year’s hajj. 3000 South Africans performed hajj this year, amid the 2 million pilgrims from around the world.
The remarkable organization of Hajj this year and the development in the transportation of airplanes, buses, cars, railways, accommodation facilities in camps and hotels, smooth flow of traffic, development in medical services, rapid interaction, handling and emergency response of all kinds was amazing to all.
More than 55,000 soldiers were recruited by Saudi Arabia in all military, civil, medical and voluntary sectors to work on the success of the pilgrimage season this year.
In the first segment of the show, we have a well-known voice in South Africa – television and radio broadcaster Ashraf Garda. Ashraf performed haj with his wife, and also documented his experiences as a part of a series called “That’s My Hajj by Al Baraka Bank.
