Casoojee Christmas plea meets legal wall as Advocate Lana Bezuidenhout declines comment

A long-running parental alienation dispute involving Johannesburg-based father Asif Casoojee and his ex-wife's attorney Kaamilah Paulse has resurfaced during the December school holidays, after Casoojee was denied access to his children during the festive season. Casoojee says he hoped to take the children on to a religious trip in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, a request he maintains would have been spiritually meaningful and consistent with their Muslim upbringing. Instead, he was informed that his proposed travel plans could not proceed.
