Failure by inspection crews to recognise and report multiple lighting faults causing a failure to NOTAM the danger.

Gross incompetance at ACASA - what a surprise. Sadly this is symptomatic of the much wider problems of the public sector in post-apartheid South Africa where the entire system from top to bottom has been stuffed with political appointees and nepotism with absulutely no regard for such outdated colonial concepts as ability, competance, education, work ethic or even literacy.

Does SACAA have the balls to rock the boat by stomping heavily on ACASA to sort out the mess ? Sadly I have my doubts.

Meanwhile the infrastructure will continue to crumble due to lack of investment and any sense of direction or safe operations.
