The Department of International Relations and Co-operation (Dirco) has urged South African citizens in the Middle East to take advantage of the limited commercial flights now available to leave the region, warning that heavy attacks are expected to continue in the coming days.
The Agenda interviewed a South African, who is currently in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) city of Dubai, Olwethu Ngidi.

I was stuck too Qatar just told us to claim for refunds or change bookings when they don't even know when they'll be flying again.I got stranded in Istanbul yesterday with my flight canceled. Had to book Turkish Airlines via Nairobi where I still am waiting for a flight SA for this afternoon and ticket prices are crazy. I..I'm just glad that I'm back in Africa
My favorite journalist ❤
Much a do about the high-earning privileged stuck in Glamour Central; much less a do about the grip of poverty on the majority back home.
Is the SABC captured by zionists?
I wonder how many people pray for South Africa, rather that cursing it to darts. This country in not perfect and I disagree with Anc infect GNU ruling. However I don't have any where to go.I will keeping praying for South Africa. People you spend every day spewing hate.Is it not tiring
How is SA helping them to return.
Thanks for your truth, well done SA, yes there is a lot of rubbish over the internet
How are we supposed to exit the Middle East when our flights are getting cancelled more than once. Why can't the government send flights through Kenya or Ethiopia because those routes are open. People are literally sleeping at the airports because their flights are getting cancelled while on the check-in que. South Africans are willing to pay for repatriation flights. This is crazy
I THOUGHT XHINOPHOBIANS DONT TRAVEL OUT OF MSANSI
So SA govt. sending charter planes to get SA's home?😂 Of course not, they are a selfish bunch.
You'll likely die quicker in Durban 😂
How stupid
We have a war here too..in sa
You couldn't pay me to move to the Middle East lol. I mean I'll work there for the money but I would not retire there.
😂😂😂😂😂
Sabc News is ALWAYS just propaganda.
I have a question for DIRCO and the South African government regarding the repatriation of the South African citizens.
The US and the EU are repatriating their people via Oman. DIRCO is telling us to stay safe. It’s not about finances…
Dubai hasn’t been like the images you are showing over ther
The fake care in the beginning 🙄
Telling people to leave because they could not even help South Africans to get out of Ukraine when the war started. RSA government is pathetic.
South Africa is mutch safer
South Africa is one of the safest place to be when third world wor happens 😂❤😊
They should stay there —- much safer than South Africa
Does this include dual passport holding Israelis? This would be a serious betrayal. Those fleeing Jews were dancing and celebrating the decimation of everything in Gaza as well as the deaths in Teheran. Why run now? They wanted Iran razed like they did in Gaza. They will be bringing their hatred here to bolster the other existing opponents to RSA's stance on the genocide in Gaza.
Sure guptas and zuma jnr would like to/rather be in za right now…
Tell guptas to return all our stolen money…
we will then give them a place in jail..FREE..!!
People are too critical on Mzanzi. I came across a Nigerian comment saying atleast South Africa is working on a plan to repatriate its citizen whilst his country is mum and not saying anything about its citizens abd this was soon after the attacks started.
We don't care what these people are doing in the middle East. Someone has to take SABC news to court.
Why is she still there?? What happened to her BLACK DANGER RADER?? IS IT BROKEN??😂😂😂. Sisi is worrying me😢
Hmmm who is the government helping… Not my family…
More chance of being murdered in SA than in the Middle East.
My daughter is in the UAE and i'm more calm about her being there than i will ever be about her here in SA!
Rather on the ground than a sitting duck on a plane.
