(CNN) One of Cape Town s highest rated restaurants may close its doors after receiving just one reservation in 2021 so far. It s pointless for me to wait and wait and wait, said Mbasa Siyaka, the owner of Mzansi Restaurant. I don t know when this pandemic will end and when people are likely to start traveling.
Many South Africans in the tourism industry are facing the same dilemma as Siyaka. Business owners and employees are losing money month after month as hopes for the recovery are delayed in the face of travel restrictions related to the South African Covid-19 variant, limited support from the government, and major airlines canceling routes to and from the country.
