at OR Tambo International Airport on 28 December, and it is putting in place new measures to ensure the problem doesn't recur.

The emergency shutdown valve that connects the fuel pump to the hydrant failed to actuate, and remained closed, while the manual mode of operations was attempted, but was not successful. While ACSA didn't have a spare parts problem, it recognised the need to implement speedier replacement, Mpofu said.

ACSA is like Eskom.... Useless.

The OR Tambo International terminal is probably the worst terminal I’ve seen in my life. Nothing works, place is falling apart, baggage takes hours to come through, zero maintenance, broken lifts. It’s a disgraceful way to welcome tourists. Proudly brought to you by the cANCer.

To ensure a recurrence of the problem they should get rid of their useless CEO!!

Hope you fired the 'old measure' that caused the mess. Clearly a 30%'er cadrè, unqualified, incompetent appointment. If you do not make an example of them, the problem will occur again.

New measures = tendaaaaaa deal and fokal improvement.

Decolonization of airports.

Can someone please tell me what actually works in SA?

What like a back up plan and a procedure? Surely not!

What measures? Will they replace the black attendant with a white one? That would be a massive improvement

Ha ha ha😄

Fikile says there wasn't a voël problem.....ok.
