The next reason for decline in tourism arrivals in SA will be once the Germans are required to present a visa -
which of course has to be applied for at the embassy in Berlin before the actual trip.

If that news is true, my time in SA is up.

How can it go away after Corona when we're not even allowed to enter with Corona? -O-
No enter, no visa or vice versa.

The visa thing is new, as I understand it, and the only administrative way SA can legally/diplomatically deny entry? It is about Corona. \O

Priority cases will get there visas approved. (Medical workers etc.)

And what about Ramaphosa's part talking about no new visa will be granted and already given ones revoked?

Revealed: South Africa’s new ‘hijacking hot-spots’ for 2021

They are talking about it, as of the new "Best Restaurants" 0*\ If the above article gets in the world media, SA can forget about the International tourists. It has become a real scourge. It is even known more or less where they are "working". There should probably be many more patrols, but of course not uniformed in police cars.
