Ryanair Holdings Plc is ordering South Africans traveling to the UK to complete a list of questions in Afrikaans to prove their identity — only one of 11 official languages spoken in the country.
Europe’s largest low-cost airline imposed the measure to prevent the use of fraudulent passports, the company said in a statement.
“If they are unable to complete this questionnaire, they will be refused travel and issued with a full refund,†Ryanair said.
The quiz contains 15 general knowledge questions about South Africa, including a multiple choice to identify the nation’s capital, according to a copy published by the Beeld newspaper. Others asked which side of the
road people drive on and the name of the country’s highest mountain.
