President Cyril Ramaphosa is hopeful SA could soon be removed from Britain's controversial red list.
President Cyril Ramaphosa says he put SA's case to Boris Johnson 'which he understood very well'.President Cyril Ramaphosa is “hopeful” SA could soon be removed from Britain's controversial travel red list after a telephonic conversation with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Thursday.
The recent decision to keep SA on the red list was met with anger, particularly from government and scientists, and in the context of falling Covid-19 cases in SA. Ramaphosa said he and Johnson discussed this matter, and agreed that the travel ban should be informed by science. Ramaphosa said being on the red list severely disadvantaged the country, “since the United Kingdom is SA’s biggest source of tourism from the northern hemisphere and a significant trading partner”.
