South African man who traveled from Cape Town to Al Aqsa mosque turn out to be fraudster

Occupied Jerusalem (QNN)- A South African man who claimed to have walked from Cape Town to Jerusalem has been revealed to be a fraudster.

South African media reported that Shaheed Stakala is wanted in South Africa to face charges of stealing money which Muslims had been saving to perform the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages.

Stakala had been received by Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh in his office after he claimed that he walked all the way from Cape Town, in South Africa, to Jerusalem to pray at Al-Aqsa Mosque in a journey that lasted for 26 months.

Stakala claimed that he will complete his foot journey to Mecca in Saudi Arabia to perform Hajj.

The authorities in Pretoria are being requested to ask their counterparts in Israel, Palestine and Jordan to deport Stakala to South Africa so that he can face justice.
