Does anyone know whether the manager made it?
Only knowing JNB as SLF, where did this happen... airside or landside? If airside then WTF was he doing with a weapon?

Sadly, he didn't make it.
Guns airside ain't a new thing at JIA; there have been numerous armed heists up at the cargo section and recently a gang of armed men held up the duty-free store in the airside section of international departures.
Be careful out there.
