Poland blocked the delegation of the President of South Africa on the plane

News 24 reports that the security service of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and the journalists who arrived with him were blocked on the plane upon arrival in Poland.

“On Thursday, the Polish authorities refused to allow security personnel to get off the ramp, which caused confusion in the operational plans of the police and the National Defense Forces of South Africa,” the publication says.

According to the latest data, it is known that the head of the Ramaphosa security service, Major General Wali Rud, accused the Polish authorities of sabotage and racism. He noted that representatives of the South African Embassy in Warsaw tried to negotiate with the local police and customs, but they demanded to provide various documents and permits, and also often refused to speak English.
