Last update: ~1100 ETSouth African President Cyril Ramaphosa has pledged to get to the bottom of a “mysterious” plane carrying 153 Palestinians who he said had apparently been “flushed out” of Gaza by Israel.
The 153 men, women and children who arrived in Johannesburg on board a flight from Nairobi were detained by border police on their plane for more than 12 hours because their passports lacked an exit stamp from Israel.
The Department of Home Affairs eventually authorised the passengers’ entry into South Africa that evening, after receiving assurances from NGO Gift of the Givers that they would be taken care of.
