"Cabinet is appealing to South Africans to always notify our Missions of their presence when travelling abroad including for holiday purposes. "Cabinet reiterated the call for an end to hostilities in Sudan and calls for peace and calm among the parties involved in the conflict in keeping with the African Union objective of silencing the guns on the continent," Ntshavheni said.At the time, the department said government was doing everything possible to get South African nationals out of Sudan.
