SHIP FIASCO
DEPUTY Director-General at the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (Dirco), Clayson Monyela, took to X to clarify the reason the Russian servicemen onboard the Russian Navy Baltic Fleet training vessel, The Smolny, which is in Cape Town on its Africa-Asia voyage, were denied permission to leave the ship.
He says they do not have passports.
“The reason the sailors are not able to disembark is that none of them have passports. Immigration laws. This is Department of Home Affairs terrain,” Monyela wrote on X.
