Cape Town – While a South African stranded in India with stage four cancer has pleaded for help getting home, one desperate family has resorted to taking out a loan to secure a place on a repatriation flight from Thailand.
She said they had to take out a loan to pay for the airline tickets that cost R60 400 in total. She said the tickets were R15100 a person. Robinson said they were relieved and very excited to be going home after being stranded since last month. Theresa Rossouw, who is stranded in Myanmar, said she and her friends would miss the flight because the borders to Thailand were closed.“With the loans, they uploaded the application forms, and I think they looked at credit scores to see if you would be able to repay it. Some of the guys have been rejected.”
