More than 50 South African citizens evacuated from war-torn Sudan are finally home safely.
It was an emotional moment on Sunday for the 51 as they were reunited with their families at the arrivals terminal of Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport.
Derrick Morris said he was looking forward to having a beer with his son who was meant to stay for a year in Sudan.
His son Warrick moved to Sudan to work at a Toyota dealership. He tried to get through the border last Sunday but his passport was still in the country’s capital Khartoum.
“There was very little communication with him [during the week] … It’s been a stressful week, not knowing when they will get on the flight. I am glad he is coming home — too soon though because he was meant to be there for a year … We are ready to have a beer with him,” Morris said.
They arrived on a Kenya Airways flight which was delayed by about 15 minutes.
