To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what plans he his Department to amend its travel advice for UK nationals travelling to South Africa in response to the outbreak of violence in that country following the recent incarceration of former President Zuma for contempt of court.

We are closely monitoring the situation in South Africa. The FCDO continues to advise against all but essential travel to the whole of South Africa based on current COVID-19 risks. We have been regularly updating FCDO Travel Advice during the recent unrest and have publicised consular contact details on social media. Our consular staff are contactable 24/7 for British Nationals directly affected by the protests and needing help.
