Poland – Amanda Khoza, a prominent political reporter from the Sunday Times, found herself among the South African delegation led by President Cyril Matamela Ramaphosa, which experienced an extended delay in Poland. Expressing her dissatisfaction with the situation, Khoza criticized the statement made by Vincent Magwenya, the spokesperson of the office of the Presidency, regarding the progress of the African Peace Mission.
In response to the delegation’s delay in Poland, Vincent Magwenya reassured the public that the African Peace Mission was proceeding well and as planned. He confirmed that President Ramaphosa arrived safely in Kyiv, Ukraine, along with other heads of state and government, emphasizing their safety. Magwenya assured that officials were working to address the impasse with the charter flight in Poland in collaboration with their Polish counterparts.
However, Amanda Khoza, frustrated with the situation, questioned the validity of Magwenya’s statement. After spending more than 25 hours confined to the airplane, Khoza expressed her discontent, highlighting the discrepancy between the spokesperson’s description of the mission and the reality experienced by the delegation.
“How can it be going well when we have been in the plane for three days, shlobo? How can it be going well when we have not been able to report on the mission? How can it be going ‘well and as planned?'” Amanda Khoza voiced her concerns.
