Johannesburg, Oct 8 (EFE) – South Africa announced Thursday that it will deploy antigen testing equipment at all its border posts as an alternative for travelers who do not have a recent negative PCR test, a measure initially mandatory to enter the country.
This option will greatly facilitate entry and exit especially for other Africans, as in many countries the difficulty of access to PCR testing made it virtually impossible for them to travel to South Africa.
“Government is aware that some of the neighboring countries, for example Lesotho, do not have the capacity to conduct PCR testing for all travelers bound for South Africa,” Cyril Ramaphosa’s Executive admitted in the statement.
The revival of international travel is a key factor in the gradual recovery of activity in Africa’s second largest economy, and the main transport hub in the south of the continent.

The appearance of the omicron variant has abruptly interrupted the honeymoon of the Aragonese Daniel Lostao and Marta Manso, who have been forced to rush back home to avoid being trapped in South Africa. “We found out from a friend when we were in Zimbabwe, the day before flying to South Africa to connect with Mozambique”, explained Daniel in the program Aquí y Ahora of Aragón TV.
They obtained tickets to Amsterdam and, before boarding the aircraft, they had to test negative for antigens, since the PCRs they had had exceeded the 24-hour limit by a couple of hours. After passing the tests stamped by the South African authorities and passing four controls at the airport, the two Aragonese took their seats on the plane, from where, after more than an hour of waiting, another couple was evicted due to doubts about their diagnostic tests. In Africa, they witnessed the disbelief of its people at the “hysteria” unleashed in Europe by a variant that so far is not causing a number of infected people as in many European countries. “A waiter did not understand why there was not more talk about the situation in countries like Germany or Austria, with many more cases, and told us that this was happening because it was Africa, because if it were Europe, nobody would have closed the borders”, he explained.
