The Purple shall rule! "My son flew with Mango airlines from King Shaka Airport to OR Tambo on the 4/02/2012. His luggage was ransacked & his cellphone was stolen. I have been on the phone for 2 hours trying to get some assistance from King Shaka to OR Tambo to Mango customer care to OR Tambo again & eventually spoke to a guy from Mango Lost luggage at OR Tambo who said that my son should have checked his luggage the same time & reported the incident to security who would have detained the guys who pack the luggage onto the plane & searched them. How do you expect my son to empty his clothing bags at the airport & how was he to know that a reliable & trusted airlines as Mango would have & allowed passengers' luggag to be ransacked & items stolen from their bags. How many other passengers domestic or international would have had the same experience & only realised later as my son did the following morning. If Mango had screened its employees (the guys that pack the luggage on the planes) then incidents like this would never happen. I am very unhappy & dissappointed with Mango & the service I got regarding my son's luggaged being opened, ransacked & his cellphone stolen. Your prices maybe reasonable BUT your service STINKS."

The Bottom Line: McKinsey have updated their analysis of the deleveraging (a big word for paying back debt) that's going on highly indebted economies. They project private sector deleveraging in the United States to reach its long-term trendline in the middle of 2013, although in total deleveraging hasn't started yet. To me, the big question for the US is when their government is going to stop accummulating debt.
