    SAA delayed reporting near-disaster at Cape Town airport by 8 days

    No, pilots need to explain why they load extra fuel. So if they looked at the weather report they would have seen that Cape Town had bad weather and both of the alternative airports as well, then their next option is Bloem so you load fuel for such a round trip.

    SAA delayed reporting near-disaster at Cape Town airport by 8 days

    Would love to see the report when it comes out. Apparently there was a retired captain, most probably from SAA, on the flight and he went up to the cockpit and helped out to bring the plane down. They should have looked at the weather report before taking off, there was bad weather in Cape...

    South Africans can now get paid for recycling their e-waste

    Big money in it. Have seen the operations at Desco, you need machinery, space and its manual labour. You need serious cash flow as it can take up to 12 months to get paid after you shipped internationally for processing. I'm sure E-Waste will resell to some of the local recyclers.
