They wanted a refund for their airfares, but instead ended up being on a very long list of Comair’s creditors in the company’s business rescue process, destined to get only a few cents in the rand

That begs the question: why does the list of unused reservations still take up 30 of the 42-pages list of Comair’s creditors claims when it was last updated on September 17?
