This is a serious state of affairs , I returned to SA last year after being away for awhile and was doing a flight from Wonderboom to Pielansberg it was early morning and very hazy , I asked the ATC to switch the lights on so that it would make it easier for me to pick up the airport and the response, this is verbatim
“Ish what for “ .
If this is the state of ATC be afraid be very afraid
