East Coast Drive played her husband Matt's voicenote this week all the way from Indonesia. On Thursday, we were able to speak to his wife in Durban to get the full story. The family managed to get back to Durban, but Matt is still there.

Earlier this week, we played a voicenote from a man in Indonesia. His name is Matt and he was sending love to his family in Durban.

He said he was stuck in a camp in Indonesia so we managed to track down his family in Durban and we were able to have a chat with his wife, Philippa.

We were obviously concerned about how her husband ended up being the only one left behind in Indonesia and how the family is dealing with the fact that we're in a coronavirus crisis and there are still travel bans in place.

Listen to the podcast to hear what Matt's wife had to stay about her husband still being stranded overseas.
