CAPE TOWN - A group of South Africans who have been stuck in Bali for over a month have finally returned home and will be kept at a quarantine facility for the next 14 days.
The group desperately appealed for help a few weeks ago on social media. Their plane touched down in Johannesburg on Friday night after an agonising wait.After numerous attempts to leave that country failed, a Cape Town couple said they were relieved that they had finally arrived on home soil.
“The one hotel we were staying in…we had to leave because we couldn’t afford it anymore. We bargained in hotels, we would say ‘don’t give us toilet paper, you don’t have to give us the towels’ and that kind of reduced the cost. Noodles became the staple.
