Q&A with aviation expert Guy Leitch on Cape Town Stadium flyover (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Should the South African Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) have allowed it? No. In fact, I’m extremely sceptical that they ever did allow it. They say they’ve launched compliance verifications to determine if the pilots adhered to the approved flight plan. Do you suspect they went lower than approved? Oh, absolutely. I find it extremely difficult to believe that the CAA would have approved anything less than 250 feet. I’m accepting that a height of 50 feet is pretty much what they were at, and they
Q&A with Salga’s Lerato Phasha on appointment of more consultants (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The South African Local Government Association (Salga) says it is appointing more consultants to help fix municipalities. Chris Barron asked Salga’s portfolio head for municipal finance, fiscal policy & economic growth, Lerato Phasha ... How will more consultants help fix municipalities? As Salga, our mandate is to support and capacitate municipalities. How does bringing in more consultants do that? We’ve identified financial challenges and capacity constraints in these municipalities. For examp
Q&A with IEC chair Mosotho Moepya on unregistered voters (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Am I right in saying 10-million eligible voters have not registered? That’s an estimation I’m happy to accept. Does this mean the voter education you’re mandated to do has been as ineffective as it was more than two years ago? No, it doesn’t say that at all. It is not a function of voter education. It’s a function of what the Human Sciences Research Council survey has told us about what voters say. Many are saying they’re unhappy with the democracy dividend and will not participate. Isn’t it you
Q&A with justice minister Mmamoloko Kubayi on migrant crisis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We could have dealt with it better, but I don’t think we completely left it too late. The review for the white paper on immigration started in the sixth administration. The establishment of the Border Management Authority also showed that the government acknowledged that there is a weakness which needs to be addressed. In spite of this you allowed immigration to become a major crisis, didn’t you? Was it a mistake to allow vigilante groups like March and March to set the agenda? It is wrong to al
Q&A with SAHRC on subpoenas over migrant repatriation abuses (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is it fair to say the migrant repatriation process is one of the country’s biggest human rights crises since 1994? We saw human rights being seriously violated. There were no ablution systems available; people were going hungry. Women, children, older persons and even people with disabilities were being kept in the most inhumane state ever. We asked to speak with a lot of stakeholders, the ministers, so that we could understand their plans. The minister of the SAPS, the ministers of justice, hom
