FlySafair says it could ban former Ukhozi FM personality Ngizwe Mchunu on its airlines after he and a group of men broke out in song during a flight this past weekend.
The video of Mchunu and his friends causing a stir on-board went viral on social media.
In the video, Mchunu is seen shouting at a FlySafair flight attendant as he and his entourage break out in song.
Mchunu can be heard telling the flight attendant that it is tradition that they bow at the King Shaka International Airport.
Kirby Gordon, chief marketing officer at FlySafair confirmed the incident on Saturday, August 24 on FA 196.
“The cabin crew on flight FA169 encountered a group of passengers whose behaviour was disruptive and in violation of standard aviation safety protocols, including adherence to safety belt signs.
“Our Safety and Security Team is currently finalising its review of the incident. Appropriate actions will be taken in accordance with our procedures, which may include barring the individuals involved from future FlySafair flights.”
Did @FlySafair ban this airhead with its minions from all its future flights and reported them to Airport @SAPoliceService. This lunatic likes being barbaric in the name of Zulu people, when his antics are nothing close to the best of what makes us Zulu.
Mchunu’s trending video had many people weighing in on his behaviour and many were not in favour of his behaviour.
@angoepe50 said: “I hope the pilot refused to take off. This behaviour is not allowed on aircraft. “We are Zulu people” so fucking what. There is fuck all special about that.”
@MelusiSiboniso said: “Is there a process where people can be put on a ‘No Fly List’ - because why should other passengers be put through that?”
