Popi Sibiya is a South African blogger who was on a tour of the continent when she got stuck in Gabon during the coup.

The military takeover was announced shortly after President Ali Bongo had been declared the winner of a disputed election.

At the weekend the military reopened the country鈥檚 borders but rather than leave, the local travel content creator decided to stay a few more days. She told Newsday that locals she met 鈥渨eren鈥檛 expecting a coup鈥�they were in shock鈥�I鈥檓 about to leave now鈥�I don鈥檛 scare easily鈥�I鈥檓 moving on to Cameroon. I鈥檓 going forward.鈥�
