Canada and French Embassies in South Africa have joined the United States and United Kingdom in warning their fellow natives to stay away from Sandton this weekend due to a possible terrorist attack.
On Wednesday, the US Embassy in South Africa said that its government has received information that terrorists may be planning to conduct an attack targeting large gatherings of people at an unspecified location in the greater Sandton area of Johannesburg, South Africa, on Saturday.
The French Embassy in Pretoria and the French Consulate General in Johannesburg called on the French community to avoid or to maintain increased vigilance during the public gatherings scheduled for October 29 and 30 in the greater Sandton area of Johannesburg.
The High Commission of Canada in South Africa also followed suit.
In its warning, the US Embassy said there is no further information regarding the timing, method, or target of the potential attack.
