Much work is needed to achieve an aviation landscape that does justice to the potential of all population groups in the country, says Nkosinathi Mangcu

The deputy minister of transport, Nkosinathi Mangcu, has urged industry leaders in aviation to help transform the sector.The deputy minister of transport, Nkosinathi Mangcu, challenged experts and role players in the South African aviation sector to throw their weight behind its transformation.

Mangcu delivered the keynote address at this year's South African Civil Aviation Authority National Aviation Conference in Houghton, Johannesburg on Friday. He told the group that transformation in the industry is not where it should be in terms of representation. “For example, as of February 28, the license statistics indicate that female pilots' licences in all categories stand at 847 Africans, 86 coloureds, 72 Indians and 1,038 whites,” he said.

Mangcu said regarding the male pilot licences in all categories, even more work needed to be done since 1,683 are Africans, 368 are coloured, 381 are Indian and 12,407 are white. “Of total representation only 4,303 in all categories are women, while in the category that includes aircraft maintenance engineers just 2,260 are females.”
