READER LETTER | Travel bans smack of colonialism

They have not halted their racist and colonial attitude to people of colour. Some European countries are infected with the deadly coronavirus but they refuse to give it a deadly name like Delta or Omicron. Why?

The policies being adopted by European and other Western countries will create a loss of tourism and a loss of about one million jobs for our people in SA. During the Christmas and festive season about one million people from Europe and other countries visit SA and create many jobs. Many European visitors to South Africa have told me that SA is a beautiful country to visit.

These countries with their banning of flights to SA are causing great harm to our economy. Why was there no flight ban to Italy when the deadly virus was detected in the north of that country last year? Even China was not punished like SA is. Their attitude was mild. President Cyril Ramaphosa should call President Joe Biden of America and other European leaders personally and advise them to withdraw the travel ban. It is the only wise thing to do. Hundreds of thousands of South Africans have not died of the coronavirus like in some other places in the world.

Calls to lift travel restrictions on SAThe government says it's engaging with several countries to lift their travel restrictions on South Africa. British politician, Lord Peter Hain, has been adding his voice in calling for the UK government to take South Africa off its red list. He spoke with eNCA's Dan Moyane. Who is allowed to traveled? Everyone or only the vaccinated? If is the vaccinated, they should be blamed for spreading the virus. But if is the unvaxxed just ban them from everything and let them die because of their choice.
