Of course you haven't seen any articles on it because it would be contrary to the "SA is doomed" campaign! the silence from the "1st World Countries are perfect" praise singers on the forum is deafening. Imagine if it was a German CEO robbed here, we would have heard at least 3 threads running on the incident. Now I understand Debbie2's recent vigilance..geek said:Heard this on SABC 3 (English) news last night. Think it was the 7pm news. Haven't seen any articles online related to it. Anybody else here anything about this? Not 100% sure it was the SAA CEO, but I think so.

Johannesburg - The Potsdam hotel room of South African Airways' (SAA) chief executive Khaya Ngqula was cleaned out by robbers during the Soccer World Cup final between Italy and France, it was confirmed on Monday.
"I don't know what the obsession is with (Ngqula), there were other people whose rooms were broken into," SAA spokesperson Jacqui O'Sullivan said on Monday.
However, she could not reveal the identities of the other South African business executives who fell prey to the burglars, who struck while they were at the match in Berlin on Sunday night.
Italy took the cup after winning a penalty shoot-out with France, following goalless extra-time with both teams level-pegging at one goal each.
Confirming that Ngqula's room had been burgled, O'Sullivan said the matter had been reported to the local police in Germany.
She did not know what was taken. She had had only a brief conversation with him since the robbery and the line had been poor.
Asked whether his passport was taken, O'Sullivan said the matter of his passport had been resolved.
"He's coming back. Somehow he's coming back," she said.
It is understood that Gauteng Premier Mbhazima Shilowa was also targeted, as were Zuzi Buthelezi, the son of Inkatha Freedom Party president Mangosuthu Buthelezi, and businessman Dr Dudu Kunene, but this could not be confirmed.
"We have no such knowledge," said Shilowa's spokesperson, Annette Griessel.
"According to our information that is incorrect," she said.
