The Government and people of the Republic of South Africa express their deepest condolences and solidarity with the Governments and peoples of the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, and Cuba following the devastation and tragic loss of life caused by Hurricane Melissa.
South Africa stands with the affected communities during this difficult time as they confront the aftermath of this powerful and destructive storm. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to all who have lost loved ones, and we wish those injured a swift and full recovery.
