A worker wearing a protective suit stands below a South African Airways Airbus A340-600 plane on March 14, 2020, as it arrives in Polokwane, Limpopo Province, carrying South African citizens who have been repatriated from Wuhan, China, where they were working when the COVID-19 novel coronavirus erupted. At least 120 South Africans working and studying in Wuhan have pleaded to be repatriated after spending nearly two months there in lockdown.
“Flight LMG 755 from Wuhan city has landed with the South African citizens,” said health ministry spokesman Popo Maja. Government officials have assured that none of the group are infected by the virus and that the quarantine measures are only a precaution.The entire operation — from screening the passengers, airlifting, and quarantining — has been led by the military.
“There was no awareness drive,” he told AFP. “If they had I’m sure everybody would be… content and support this whole mission.” Sub-Saharan Africa remains largely unscathed, with less than 70 detected cases in 18 countries and one death in Sudan.
Where are the Nigerians in Wuham? Oh! The FG has abandoned them. Wicked regime!
