The following two South African kashrus alerts is from the Beth Din of Johannesburg on July 29, 2011.

The custom is to refrain from eating meat during the Nine Days of Av (except Shabbat), which begins this Sunday night. Those who do not wish to eat meat in their kosher airline meals, must specifically request a kosher fish meal - most airlines will oblige.

Further to our previous notice, we have arranged with El Al airlines that those wishing to eat a fish meal during the “Nine Days” must request “Special Kosher” when ordering your meals.
