I sprained my ankle and currently due to fly back to south africa tomorrow evening. i cannot put any weight on it. is it safe to fly?

Yes: Flying will not harm your ankle, but you may want to allow yourself extra time to get through security and navigate the airport, as you won't be moving nearly as quickly as normal. Hope this helps!
