Watch: repatriated South Africans hit us right in the feels

They were 206 of the 1,332 South Africans repatriated since lockdown began

Many South Africans have been trying to make their way home amid the coronavirus pandemic, which has been impossible since the travel ban was implemented at the start of lockdown. But over the weekend of 18 April, many South Africans were able to return home. On Sunday, 19 April, repatriated South Africans aboard a flight from Frankfurt hit us right in the feels when they arrived in song.
