    KA hujjaj enroute

    After a two day delay brought on by a bungle with busses, 72 hujjaj from Khidmatul Awaam (KA) left Jeddah on Saturday evening on three separate flights. According to both the haj operator and Shaheen Essop, secretary general of the South African Hajj and Umrah Council (Sahuc), the hujjaj were due to land at OR Tambo airport in Johannesburg by Sunday morning.

    A total of 84 South Africans were due to have left Jeddah on Thursday, but busses laid on by the Muassasah arrived late in Azzizia to take the pilgrims to Jeddah airport. There was a second bungle when the driver took them to the wrong terminal and as a result, the group missed their flight home. However, 12 other hujjaj from Rasools Travel who were on the same flight, did manage to make the flight and travelled on to Cape Town on Friday.

    72 SA hujjaj delayed

    Although the first two groups of South African hujjaj arrived safely at OR Tambo in Johannesburg on Thursday, a group of 72 pilgrims travelling with Khidmatul Awaam (KA) was less fortunate. While the group had been ready to depart from Azzizia outside Makkah by 8am, the busses that had been sent by the Muassasah to collect them and take them to Jeddah airport failed to arrive on time. As a result, the group missed their return flight home at 6pm on Ehtihad Airline and now have an anxious wait for alternate flights.

    "A total of 84 South Africans had been scheduled to be on the Ehtihad flight on Friday evening, but only the 12 from Rasools Travel managed to get to the airport in time to make the flight," secretary general of the South African Hajj and Umrah Council (Sahuc), Shaheen Essop, reported on Friday morning. "The problem was due to a small bungle by the Muassasah who should have sent a bus at 5am to collect the hujjaj. Instead, the bus only arrived at 12pm."

    31 Haj Operators Approved for Hajj 2010

    31 haj operators have been accredited to serve this year's pilgrims, one less than was the case last year. In 2006 39 operators were accredited.This shows a continuing trend of accredited haj operators that serve approximately 5,000 South African hujjaj. 

    This year's approved list was released by the South African Haj and Umrah Council on Thursday and now paves the way for the operators to start advertising their packages. At the same time, Sahuc advised pilgrims to make use of the opportunity to shop around before deciding on the operator of their choice. Consumer demand determines how big a slice of South Africa's haj quota each operator gets.
