1.2.3. We can see that there was a drastic decrease in the departures of South African  residents from South Africa and the arrivals of foreign travellers to South Africa. This  can be mainly attributed to the Covid-19 pandemic which saw countries like South  Africa being put on lockdown and hence people could not leave or arrive. Some  countries also put travel bans for people travelling from South Africa.
