Poland detains South African security plane in diplomatic spat

South Africa said on Friday a plane carrying the security personnel accompanying President Cyril Ramaphosa on a peace mission to Ukraine was held up in Poland, in an incident that sparked a diplomatic squabble.

A charter flight carrying security forces and journalists was blocked upon landing at Warsaw Chopin Airport on Thursday, with Polish authorities not allowing passengers to disembark, according to South African officials.

“We’re deeply disturbed by the experience they’ve gone through,” #Ramaphosa’s spokesman Vincent Magwenya said in a statement on Friday, describing the incident as “regrettable”.
