Johannesburg - Minister in the Presidency Manto Tshabalala-Msimang was lucky to be alive after a plane she was aboard performed an emergency landing on Thursday at Lanseria airport, the SABC said.
"I was scared and it was devastating, I didn't understand what was happening," Tshabalala Msimang said in an interview.
Earlier spokesperson of Minister in the Presidency, Thabo Masebe said Tshabalala Msimang was returning from a youth summit in Mafikeng and was headed to an AU meeting in Lesotho when her plane landed around 16:00.
"The plane's landing wheels failed to deploy but the pilot successfully managed to land the plane," said Masebe. No one was injured.
Has she ever understood what was happening around her????

I wonder if "her highness" ever thought that these exact words could be attributed to her lack of action/understanding for most HIV/AIDS sufferer's in this fair land of ours.
and she will get to understand that her life was placed in the hands of a COMPETENT pilot, who DELIVERED when it mattered most.
Well done to the crew !!!!
