Why did they come home in the first place?
They must got no one stopping them. But they must pay their own tickets, they add no benefits to this country but they want everything for free, they enjoy their money with their families but they want taxpayers to pay for their tickets up and down...
Let them swim to wherever they want. The world is under lockdown.
Start walking :) There are no flights. May hitch a ride with one of the planes delivering cargo 🙈
They can swim
If they pay for their way out of the country.
SA government must must take them back
Humans are ungrateful
We will pay for our flights.
All I ask for is the travel ban to be lifted, my company pays for my flights accommodation and everything. The Government does not do anything for me tax payers don't do anything for me. I was meant to go back to work on the 31 May but now I can't as we have wait for level 1.

Let them go
I'M SURE THEY NOT EVEN SOUTH AFRICANS
They are going where they find peace, where they get money, thus people understood life better than the one who never traveled, go to work, here they are fighting foreigners for farm work and spazza, saloons and car guards, is it the same things happening there?
Life should about choices provided one does not inflict on another.
They just need to wait until flights are permitted again. It's not fair that they expect rules to be bent just to accommodate them.
Open the border. Let them buy the ticket back.
They 'High' on something... Let them organise n go!!!
Allow them.
The made noise and cry that they want to be repatriated, now this?what msunery is this?they must pay and arrange their own charted flights.
They are behaving like self entitled drama queens. Indeed, let their wish be granted at their own expense. Their expatriation tauntrums must not be bigger than the fight at hand - the battle against the pandemic.
Who stops them? Let them go..

They opted to return at SA Taxpayers expense (they pay R0 SA tax whilst employed overseas, for more than 6 months), so they can payback the cost of a return ticket first.

Did they smoke Hydrogen?
ANC is starting to display dictatorship you cant takeaway everything without giving us something in return take the cigarette and alcohol give us level 1 so we go back to work we dying of hunger and growing in frustration
Then who holding them back?
We have an ocean on three sides of the country.
For as long as they pay and there are flights, why not?
Azania has 30.4 Million citizens living below the poverty line. Let those who are privileged enough to work internationally go back to work without abusing Government resources.
They need their Ancestors
At whose cost?
mvtshikwatamba How those who decided to stick it out/stay in the foreign countries are now looking at these ones who begged to come home:
They must be sick who said they must comeback to mzansi
Each one of them should 1st payback the money used to repatriate them. Then sizo lalela
Then they should return..Self entitled individuals
