Also travel insurance was difficult, as very few policies allow travel to FCO "all but essential" destinations (the company we used mainly insure aid workers, journalists in warzones, etc!)
SA immigration was fine, noone asked her about anything - and there were only 2 in the SA Citizens queue.
She'll head down to Durban by air in the coming days.
