South African Tourism reminds the travel trade that South Africa is open to all international leisure and business travelers from all over the globe with all travelers coming into the country needing to supply a negative PCR (polymerase chain reaction) COVID test not older than 72 hours from the date of departure from their country. This test must be conducted by a certified medical practitioner and should have the name and signature of the practitioner who conducted such test. All requirements for entering South African can be found here.
