Ambush tactic deployed was 'distasteful'

The South African government is on high alert following intelligence that four more planes evacuating Palestinians could still land in the country.

Sunday World understands that while South Africa has no gripe providing humanitarian assistance to Gaza residents, it is the “ambush tactics” deployed that are distasteful, especially the apparent plot to play to the G20 summit gallery.

To avoid further embarrassment and chaos, the Department of Transport is expected to immediately keep a hawk’s eye on the incoming applications for foreign operator permits (FOP) so that the government can be one step ahead.
