"Dear the Heads of States of Russia, Ukraine, China and North Korea, The Republic of South Africa is giving your nations 48 hours to evacuate your embassies in Pretoria, your consulates elsewhere and your diplomatic personnel are to leave South Africa as they are declared persona non grata by the power vested in me as State President of the Republic. All South African diplomats will be recalled from your countries and will leave within 48 hours. We cannot allow sympathises to the African National Congress, Pan-Africanist Congress or South African Communist Party in our country. Those organisations are banned entirely within our country. This is done with the power vested in the government by the Internal Security Act of 1982. Kind Regards, Pieter Willem Botha, State President of the Republic of South Africa." |
With that, all South African diplomats in Russia, Ukraine, China and North Korea would get the message to depart those countries ASAP. They would shred all documents in the embassies and consulates and would begin departing in taxis towards airports to board flights, not necessarily to South Africa but to whatever non-communist country they can get a flight connection back to Johannesburg.
