Angry Usual bad management/PRO

Fuel shortage became apparant in Friday31 March- 1st Durban , then Cape Town ran out of stock & now all of S.Africa, Namibia, Botswana.
Bad management & PRO. No advance notice heard.
As usual shipments per sea will eventually arrive from the Middle East.
Yes it means all Avgas using charter training , private aircraft will be grounded
Switch to diesel engines very pricey. Buying turboprops/jets only other option-if you can afford it !
Tighten your belts lads.
