President Cyril Ramaphosa says the United Kingdom's decision to keep South Africa on its red list - forcing travellers into a pricey hotel quarantine - has been discussed with Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

The Department of Health on Sunday said 516 more cases of the highly contagious Delta variant were detected, bringing the total count of cases to 1,789.

Years since i was able to see my family in the uk? enough is enough." sounds as though the prime minister might have got the message? susan is right, enough is enough for everybody, this is a crazy ruling that came in, very left field for everyone, and we have got to wait and see, there could be good news this thursday but we dont know. the irony is it is about the variant which came from the reunion island which is about 6000 miles away so clearly nowhere near france. ridiculous crazy ruling bu...
