Darren, Keri and Sky were inundated with emails, phone calls, Whatsapp messages and DM's with South Africans trying to get repatriated from various corners of the world during hard lockdown this year. One that stood out is a superyacht stewardess who was forced to live in DOHA airport for an extended period of time. Williams told the team about her horrific ordeal to get back home. The 27-year-old from Durban North was left without much after being informed that she had to come back home before the South African lockdown. The Breakfast team spoke to her almost daily and after many weeks of travelling and being away from home, they finally welcomed her back to Durban!
