President Cyril Ramaphosa has dispatched a delegation to engage with Polish officials, his security staff, and a contingent of South African reporters who are currently stranded at Warsaw Chopin Airport in Poland.
These individuals are unable to leave the plane chartered by South African Airways (SAA), as it carries the weapons belonging to the president’s security personnel, who will accompany him on his upcoming trip to Ukraine for peace negotiations concerning the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
