My first visit to South Africa was in 1999.I stayed for only three days. It was actually supposed to be longer than that.
I flew into Johannesburg to cover Prime Minister Datuk Seri (now Tun) Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who was scheduled to attend the Commonwealth Business Forum there, and then onwards to Durban for the Commonwealth Heads of Governments’ meeting.
When we arrived at the hotel in Johannesburg, his aide who traveled in the advanced party told us that Dr Mahathir had cancelled the trip. He had called for the dissolution of the Parliament to pave the way for the country’s 10th general elections.
I’m flying out to Johannesburg via Dubai later this evening.
Keep safe and take care everyone!
