Religious organisations have called on the Airports Company South Africa (Acsa) to resolve the long standing issue of Muslim women who wear headscarves being targeted by security at airports.
This comes after a notice was issued by Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport in Gqeberha, informing passengers that individuals wearing any kind of headgear, including headwraps, “hijabs”, “burkas” and “niqabs”, will undergo a physical search.
“Upon request, physical searches can be conducted in an enclosed area,” said the notice on the airport’s social media platforms.
