*ONEWC*: can I start in HRE end in MRU?
I thought that the exception that states “Origin-destination surface segment permitted in Africa” meant that I could end my Circle Trip in another African country. I have one with just the final legs left and was thinking of starting my next one in MRU. Checked with BA in HRE and they said no, if I started in Zim must end somewhere in Zim.
Am I misreading that exception? Are my rules may out of date?
Thanks in advance.

I have asked BA in HRE to mail me their rules - but their e-mail is down.
