Only permanent South African residents and citizens were allowed to disembark, but were subjected to high-intensity screening and isolated or quarantined if needed. Other passengers on the planes are to be sent back to their countries of origin.
Mbalula says the extraordinary measures against travellers from countries such as China and the United States are aimed at protecting South Africans. “For some, it means that these countries, in terms of their airlines, will actually not come. And yet, in terms of the regulations, what we are talking about is a travel restriction on people who come from those countries. They will not be allowed. People coming from China, South Korea and so on will not be allowed to disembark in the Republic.”
