The ban on all international flights to and from Morocco has left over 100 South Africans stranded in the country, while a British holidaymaker has rued flying to the country for a four-day "sunshine break".
But in a recent Facebook post De Wet indicated that the lockdown would continue in Morocco until April 20, "when hopefully we can get commercial flights home". "Fortunately the group in Morocco has organised itself reasonably effectively. However, there are 100s of us in similar situations. While each persons level of plight differs, the one thing that unites us is the desire to get home."his scheduled flight home on March 19 and three others he rebooked since were all cancelled.
"We were meant to be flying back on the 19 March with Easyjet. We tried speaking to customer services, but were on the phone for two-and-a-half hours only to get down to 700th in the queue and be cut off."
