An unruly passenger on a FlySafair flight caused chaos by demanding more alcohol and becoming aggressive towards flight attendants. The incident was captured on video and widely shared on social media.
An unruly passenger caused chaos on a FlySafair flight from Durban to Cape Town on Boxing Day, December 26, 2024, demanding more alcohol during a heated argument over the drink service. FlySafair staff handcuffed and restrained the woman during the flight, handing her over to police upon landing in Cape Town. Other passengers assisted in restraining the woman.
Videos of the outburst captured by fellow passengers quickly spread on social media, showing the woman standing in the aisle and pulling a flight attendant's head aside as tensions escalated. In another clip, she is seen seated as attendants try to handcuff her. The woman, identified as an SABC employee, mentioned the SABC during her outburst, claiming the incident would be broadcast on SABC News. The SABC condemned her conduct in a statement on December 28, 2024, stating it 'noted with concern' the footage and 'regrets this incident'. The statement emphasized that the SABC 'always encourages staff members to uphold the SABC values of respect and integrity in all their interactions'. During the outburst, the unruly passenger claimed nothing could happen to her because of her loyalty to the African National Congress (ANC). However, the ANC issued a statement following the incident, describing her behavior as 'unruly' and 'unbecoming', stating that it goes against the values and principles of the movement. The party also stated that it has initiated an investigation into the woman's membership status
