Indians stranded in South Africa to leave for home on Sunday

The last batch of Indians stranded in South Africa due to the global travel restrictions will be repatriated on Sunday.

This will be the second repatriation flight arranged by the India Club.

Over 50 of the 183 passengers are IT employees from Bengaluru who have been stuck in South Africa after their contracts with various local companies expired prematurely with businesses scaling down operations due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Also, 14 South Africans, who were on home-leave, will be returning to their jobs in Indian mines.

The Indian government has arranged three Vande Bharat mission flights from South Africa, repatriating thousands.
