Editor,

It is disturbing that Rwandans are finding it next to impossible to travel to South Africa and yet South Africans are freely travelling to Rwanda. I acknowledge that countries can have strained relations, however, it only makes sense if ordinary citizens are not affected.

I am a student who has been unable to finish university just because the South African consular services has shunned Rwandans. And I am not alone. There are businessmen unable to do business, medical patients whose treatment has come to an end and cases have been growing by the day. And, yet I see South Africans travelling to Rwanda as they wish. If Rwandans cannot have access to South Africa, the reverse should also be true. That will make it fair game.
