Last month, Fourways Mall, Saturday morning, three guys, mid 20s ,white shirts and wearing Epaulettes, I kid you not. What where they thinking or did they think it was the new terminal for Lanseria?
On a serious note, some companies I worked for (not south african) insisted for security reasons to remove epaulettes once you leave the airport and not to signal your self out as aircrew (also normal sweatshirt etc over white shirt, evne in crew bus). Better to look like a bunch of tourists than a bunch of foreigners who if kidnapped will be worth an insurance pay out from an employer policy (ok white guy sticks out in middle Africa but we where talking S.America etc where you could "blend in").
