  4. Of what economic importance is pilgrimage? People can't afford to eat let alone pay for bills because of forex fluctuations,this were not subsidized,its for travel and tourism? Hmmmm we have a goverment that just does not understand the plight of the people,yes maybe cos we enter the same market but with diffrent categories? Does my president know the cost of renting two bedrom flat?,how about comparing it to income from minimumwage. I bet we created enviroments that neccesiated the crazy race of wealth acumulation for unborn generations. Yes we did
