"South Africa has been clear that it's a red line for them. They are not prepared to relax that requirement at the moment," UK High Commissioner to South Africa Nigel Casey said. Two weeks ago, South Africa put in place a travel ban on countries hard hit by the global coronavirus pandemic, which included Germany, China, Italy, the US and the UK. He also committed to continue discussing the issue with South Africa about the matter. He said South Africa issued a notary of its decision and that countries seeking to evacuate their citizens should come prepared.
