As of Friday, the German government will start repatriating German tourists stranded in South Africa because of the Covid19 coronavirus lockdown.

The German embassy in South Africa said the repatriation flights will be operated by South African Airways.

“For the coming days and weeks, we have an enormous logistical challenge ahead of us in order to get our compatriots home. We are grateful for the cooperation with the South African government. And we are glad to join forces with SAA as a reliable partner. We hope our compatriots will be back with their friends and families in Germany very soon,” said Schäfer.
