SA Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula has called on travellers from high-risk coronavirus countries to not come to South Africa as they would not be allowed to enter the country.

This came as South Africa grounded 20 flights at the OR Tambo, Cape Town and King Shaka International airports on Friday.

EUROPE

All grounded flights from Italy, France, China, Germany and the UK were sent back to the country of origin with foreigners onboard.

Germany as one of the high-risk countries, is not being allowed entry into the country.

Mbalula has grounded a ship full of more than 2000 Germans in Cape Town and will not allow them to disembark. It is understood the German government is sending four chartered flights to Cape Town to fetch the citizens this weekend

CHINA

On the Chinese flight which landed at OR Tambo around 8.30am on Friday, Mbalula said: “No Chinese citizens have been allowed to disembark. Some of the citizens from China were saying they are going to Namibia and Mozambique, and those airports are shut down, so we sent them back to China”.

"Don't come to us, we won't come to you"

And to travellers from high-risk countries, Mbalula had a stern message for them.

“We are equally emphasizing, don't come to South Africa, we will not come to you,” he said

Those countries which are not high-risk will continue to be received in SA.

well my comment is really not about what he said now ... It about how they generally feel they are better that the rest of Africa ... Inflated ego... Hot air..

But to answer your question ... It would be more polite to just say sorry we won't be allowing people from high risk zones in due to the present situation ... Understandable ...

I guess those of us who are used to him are now desensitized. He's a firebrand minister - with a lot of provocative quotes from the past. Former president of the ANC Youth League.

@the bolded,maybe you're being haunted by the dark cloud of your low self-esteem.If the next man's sense of patriotism makes you feel little then you are the one with a problem sir!

That minister is a brain-dead slouch anyway and we don't take him seriously down here so not need for you to lose sleep over what he said.

well your opinion is totally yours .. But I still say southies have the most bloated egos of all black people in my opinion ... And for your info I don't give two hoots about Nigerians so you know I am not in an US vs THEM banter ... I just know southies keep their heads nicely tucked in the sky ...

haha I will remain steadfast in my position ... Southies have bloated egos .. They feel superior to all other black nations and by all accounts the reality is not so ... There is a particular tribe in Nigeria that behaves in a similar or better still worse fashion and those are the same people that travel all around the world doing all sorts of crime and giving Nigeria a bad name ... I am not saying all Nigerians abroad are bad ... But is easy to come to the conclusion for many by the acts of a few ... Same applies to my view on south African blacks and I have yet to be proven wrong.

Franzinni:

Oh thanx,though I was doing just fine already.Anything I can do to exorcise your demons...just holla

I think you really are wallowing in self deceit.. You are not doing fine at all ... I know it will take a lot for you to realize you need help. May God grant you the wisdom to realize and the strength to follow through ... Shalom

You're more than welcome to maintain your stance even though you can't back it up with facts.What behaviour do we project that suggests we think we're superior to all blacks? I always see Nigerians on this site referring to black South Africans as primitive lol,so if there's anybody you need to correct is you.

Let me see...you came into a thread and spewed unwarranted vitriol on South Africans on topic that had nothing to do with your country...so who's got bigger problems?

The bottom line is, a Nigerian is the last person to point out arrogant behavior in others while his own nationality is known the world over for it's arrogant ways. This is a case of a pot calling the kettle black my guy

exactly! You'll see them referring to other African countries as " ordinary Togo, ordinary Congo" etc and yet he has the audacity.

And most of these countries they call ordinary are better than theirs.Very funny.

yeah your opinion is valid and I have no qualm with you saying Nigerians are arrogant but I don't think my observation about Black southafricans is misplaced ... The plain example is the man saying don't come to us we won't come to you ... That sounds odd to me

where are you when your own countrymen call people from Ghana " charcoal"? Or other countries " ordinary"? .i reiterate my point, you have no business pointing out "bloated egos " in others, it's just hypocritical

to answer that question ... YOU! ... You have the problem so deal with it how ever tickles your fancy ... I makes no difference to me .. I am in Nigeria and care less about what is happening over there in south Africa ... I only said what my observations were and my opinion is well grounded in facts ..so if the "vitriol" I spat offended you ... Hard luck buddy! Nigerians are arrogant innit?!

bro I am Nigerian and I am the blackest African you can think of... Black black ... Vanta black ...guess what ... I love it ... So if it offends you to be black you must have an esteem issue ... I don't mean you in person tho ... I mean who ever .also bruv I agree with you Nigerians too have bloated egos but is pale when it compared to southies ..
