The South African Government wishes to advise that, due to the deteriorating situation in Madagascar as a result of the constitutional crisis and concomitant civil disturbances, South African citizens and residents, are advised to avoid travelling to Madagascar at present. It is understood that air travel is in any case becoming irregular due to lack of aviation fuel.
