The German embassy in South Africa is making plans to repatriate some 7,000 of its nationals who are stuck in the country.

German ambassador to South Africa Martin Schäfer on Monday told SA FM Radio that they estimate there could be between "seven to nine thousand Germans stuck in the country".

"We need a lot of help. We have a strong partner in South African Airways who is willing to help us with the repatriation flights and we rely now somewhat on the assistance... of the South African government to make sure that our people can make it to the airport and can be flown out."

Speaking at an inter-ministerial media briefing on Friday, SA Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula said the evacuation would take place on Tuesday.

Already, 47 German tourists are under quarantine in the country after one of them tested positive to Covid-19.

South Africa has closed its borders to high-risk European countries, including Germany, and is currently in a nationwide total lockdown.

I noticed people there feel insulted that foreigners are leaving Nigeria.

Everyone should stay home for now, no more traveling.
