Smile Breakfast got word of Clint and Cordelia who have been separated for 5 months because of lockdown both in South Africa and Indonesia. In March Cordelia was supposed to return from a holiday in Bali, but when South Africa closed its borders to try curb the spread of the coronavirus, she thought she would be delayed for 21 days before she could come back. Smile Breakfast caught up with Clint who told us how 3 weeks turned into 3 months:

Clint said that while they lost a lot, they needed to stay positive and strong for each other.

After 5 months of being separated, they’re on the brink of seeing each other again. Clint has a lot of appreciation for the Home Away From Home group on Facebook who helped them out. Clint and Cordelia are just days away from being reunited.

Update:
On Tuesday 4 August Bobby and Lindy caught up with Cordelia who got in touch from her quarantine facility in Johannesburg. She gave her side of the story telling us about the generosity of people in Bali, adopting island cats, what kept her mentally strong, and the news that she is finally coming home!
