The South African Hajj and Umrah Council (SAHUC) has confirmed that just over 12,000 South Africans have registered on the Nusuk Hajj platform for #Hajj 1447H / 2026, and that the Nusuk team is currently verifying all applicants.
This comes as the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah officially approves 12 Saudi Service Provider Companies for the upcoming Hajj season. Pilgrims are urged to thoroughly review the full company profiles available on the Nusuk Hajj website before choosing a package.
SAHUC is encouraging prospective hujjaaj to reach out to its offices for guidance and support throughout the process.
SAHUC President, Moaaz Cassoo, stressed the importance of dealing only with verified service providers:
“I think this is a start now for the pilgrims who are willing to go for Hajj next year, insha Allah [God Willing]. It is very important that everyone understands that the 12 approved Saudi service provider companies you’ve seen on social media are the only entities pilgrims around the world on the Nusuk Hajj platform can deal with for Hajj packages and your entire Hajj program. You cannot deal with any entity that is not listed on the Nusuk Hajj platform under the service providers.”
However, South African Hajj slots allocation stood at 3,500 before the Country was included in the direct Hajj registration model
