The ANC didn’t just take over the town of Kimberley during the celebration of its 108th birthday, it also caused serious disruptions to air traffic at public airports in Kimberley and Bloemfontein.

The SA Civil Aviation Authority is understood to have banned all private aircraft from parking at these airports overnight, something that last happened during the Soccer World Cup in 2010.

According to the notice, aircraft were only allowed to park at the airport for an hour to disembark passengers. A pilot who spoke to City Press on condition of anonymity said that, despite the drastic restrictions, he saw just two aircraft he suspected of being leased by the ANC at the airport. He wasn’t sure if these aircraft were in need of parking spots.

Adele Nkomo, of the Airports Company SA, which speaks on behalf of Sacaa in respect of operational issues, said they were “aware that there would be an increase in passengers and aircraft that may exceed our operational capacity”. The only exceptions were for President Cyril Ramaphosa, Deputy President David Mabuza and Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.

Guy Leitch, editor of aviation publication SA Flyer Magazine, agreed that the parking restrictions were unheard of.
