Is this for non residents as well?

DIRCO_ZA spend time speaking to emirates amd qatarairways rather to resume flights... To take us to countries that haven't banned us rather.... We need all airlines to 'unban' us if we want to see anything happen

Changes nothing if people will still need to spend crazy amounts of money on Quarantine. Our tourism sector will still suffer. Also the UK is not the only country that has banned us. We need all airlines to resume flights to SA as other countries had enough respect not to ban us

Australia next pls

Haw?
