Are you surprised? After SA continued doing business with Russia after much of the west had imposed sanctions this type of inconvenience is expected. It's petty and exactly the type of thing delegates are used to

Yeah the fact that SA doesn't agree with the west politically totally justifies holding their delegation hostage. Thank you for your insightful comment.

This is how all countries act - in their self interest

It's possible for countries to act in self interest without acting as utter human garbage as western nations tend to do time and again.
