Cape Town - Lulu Xingwana, Minister of Women, Children and People with Disabilities, shocked fellow passengers on an SAA flight when she swore at cabin crew and used the k-word.

She was furious because SAA crew wouldn’t upgrade her ticket from economy class to business class on the Thursday night flight from Accra in Ghana to Johannesburg.

A fellow passenger said he saw how Xingwana yelled at a white air hostess: “Shut up! Shut up! Is it because I’m a k****r?”

Business class was apparently full.

When the air hostess tried to calm her down, Xingwana apparently said: “But I’m a stakeholder in this company.”

She was offered a seat in the front row of economy class.

“The minister was like a naughty child. She put her bag on her lap with her arms around it,” said the fellow passenger.

“I was shocked and embarrassed. It is a national minister.”

SAA spokesperson Dilesang Koetle confirmed the incident and apologised for being unable to upgrade the minister.

Xingwana’s spokesperson Cornelius Tanana Monama denied that the minister had yelled at anyone and denied that she had used the k-word.

He also said she never said anything about being an SAA stakeholder.

He said she had politely requested to be upgraded and had been shocked by the rude and disrespectful behaviour of the SAA staff member.

That airhostess should have some recourse. This whole, "You calling me ******" thing is actually racist.
 
So what's new with Goverment officials.
And then there's the denial.

Pathetic!!!
 
Bahahaha what a brat. I had to sit far away from my family on my flight,I don't care lol
 
April fools joke, for sure.

We all know government officials would take the back-up plane if the 1st one had no more space in business class.
 
Another one who thinks the world owe them something. Fat Cow should get a life.
 
Oh my word. Welcome to SA 2012. Where is Leon Schuster? Was it not him playing the minister wife's role. Not easy to differentiate between the 2. How sad.
 
Now - who can tell us for sure. Did the incident really happen or was it a April's fool? In SA people should be banned from making jokes which might just as well be reality. Yeah, things are that bad :D
 
Maybe he wanted to drink some Kefir. One should always be careful asking for and about Kefir in South Africa ;)

April fools normally don't involve people as it can tarnish reputation. it was more than likely a real event
