SA sees spike in recent air crashes

âââ 09:45 Fri, 05 Feb 2021
South Africa reported 14 air crashes in January 2021 alone, the highest number since Black October 2008.
EIGHT PEOPLE DIED IN FOURTEEN AIR CRASHES
The Director of the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA), Poppy Khoza, says four of these January aircraft accidents were fatal with eight people losing their lives.
According to SACAA, this is the highest number of accidents since what has become known as Black October 2008 in which 20 accidents occurred, killing 26 people.
MORE AIR CRASHES DESPITE LOCKDOWN
Preliminary investigations into the accidents reveal the causes include human error by flight crew, followed âby aircraft operations and then mechanical or engine failureâ. Khoza says the causes of the crashes are nothing new, so she asks why are they reoccurring. âCould it be a matter of attitude and not necessarily aptitude?â
