The Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) has not issued a travel advisory to South Africans travelling to Zimbabwe following the cholera outbreak in that country. This decision was guided by and based on the assessment of the South African National Department of Health, which has not imposed any travel restrictions for travellers to and from Zimbabwe. The DIRCO continues to provide advice, through its website, to South African citizens travelling abroad inclusive of health risks. South African citizens are encouraged to timeously consult the National Department of Health to obtain specific health related information prior to travelling abroad.
