“We were pleased yesterday the UK government has taken our country off the red list, which means easy travel,” said Phaahla, adding that the UK government will also recognise the vaccine passport from South Africa. “Over 13.3 million people have taken vaccines and very few of them have experienced side effects,” Phaahla said.
