Hajj 2017

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. Of course, 2500 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.
The Ministry of Hajj through its new minister, who makes deft use of modern technology and modern administrative measures, improved its performance and facilitated the functions of arrival and the movement of pilgrims.
The Ministry of Interior developed the performance of the departments of passports and traffic and civil defense so that the rates of facilitation procedures were very remarkable and distinctive.
But this Haj season was a rather challenging year as we saw temperatures rise to well over 45 degrees, which affected many pilgrims including seasoned Hajis during the days of Haj.
Our guests for the next hour,
-Adam Jainodeen, president of the South African Haj Travel Operators Association
-Shaykh Abdurahmaan Alexander
-Haafith Ismail Kholvadia, Head of Sahucs mission in Saudi Arabia
