Judgment in the bail application in the matter against embattled Hajj & Umrah travel operator Fazila Malek has been postponed to Tuesday
Malek appeared in the Lenasia Magistrates Court on Friday for a formal bail application.
Malek has been charged with fraud and corruption after it emerged that her travel agency New Heights failed to refund customers who had booked and paid for Umrah packages including repaying loans afforded to her by individuals during last year’s hajj.
She has denied the allegations saying people needed to be patient as she had made alternative arrangements to pay back the money.
Malek has been remanded in custody at the hospital section of the Johannesburg Correctional Centre due to her health condition.
