This was after the Embassy issued a terrorism alert for any of its citizens who may be planning to travel to SA, however, there was no explanation given for the warning.

International Relations Director-General Zane Dangor has since responded to the alert and said they will wait on the UK government to provide proof for its “unfounded” allegations.

Mashaile says he is pleased the government is responding. “I was worried when we did not hear anything from our country. Obviously from my research and analysis and interpretation of data and information of this nature.\

“I would feel confident if our South African head of security, law enforcement as well as intelligence could ask is this what you have received.  To go ahead and just say what they want to say, it’s not cautious.”
