Kristina Hristova

Hi there, i wish to find out if anybody from Tambo Airport is willing to reply to the mail sent in connection with my suitcase that never arrived to Dubai flight/date SA422/30NOV/SA766/30NOV. My ticket number was ETKT 0833658708105-1 and I checked in my pink Cellini suitcase between 21:00-21:30 at terminal A gate 57 or 58. The person who checked in my suitcase never put the sticker with the tracking number on my ticket, so therefore I only have the tracking numbers of the previous flight from Port Elizabeth. The Emirates were very helpful with the matter and still are sending e-mails, trying to relocate my luggage, but still had no reply of any source from SA. Is silence a way of expressing no concern at all or is it just a South African way to deal with the matter? Is it possible that someone can reply and tell if there is anything done to relocate my suitcase or should I just forget about it? Has it vanished or has it been sent with a different flight? Is there a person I can contact, who is willing to help or a place in Tambo Airport? I am finding this whole matter of nothing been done very disturbing. Thank you!

Gerrit Jacobs

Jennifer Hsieh

Dear O.R Tambo International Airport, My name is Jennifer Hsieh. I am a Masters student studying Neurophysiology at the University of Cape Town. I write to you with deep regret and absolute disappointment, and being an airport that holds service in high regard, I know that you will hear my story out. Recently, I was fortunate enough to go on a month trip to the USA, where I travelled the States of Kentucky, Florida, as well as spend time in Manhattan New York. I had learnt much on my travels, and certainly glad to have seen so much of the “Beautiful Country” that America is called in Mandarin. However, as great a country America is, I kept thinking, well, SA isn’t so bad. In fact, after making several comparisons, I was proud to say that I am happily South African. This country is full of culture, full of strength, and behind each face that I’ve met here, there has been such struggle, which give this country much character. I have lived here my whole life, and I love the life that I have and am still building. I could not wait to come home. When the plane landed on the morning of 7 August, my eyes brimmed with tears I was so elated. I hurried off the plane with my maximum amount of hand luggage allowed, and headed toward Passport Control and stood in the line, still happy – A little line didn’t bug me at all because I was HOME! After a 14 hour flight and a month away that only strengthened my love for this country, I was smiling at everyone around me. As I walked up to booth 13 of Passport Control, it was 9am. The gentleman looked at me and asked me where I was from. I handed him my SA passport, and said with a huge smile, “I’m South African, I’m so happy to be HOME :D“, he shook his head, taking my passport and asked me again, “Where are you from?”, so I thought that perhaps he wanted to know where I just came from, and I replied “Oh, um, New York, I just came from JFK”. I’d figured that my smile would let him know that I’d had a good trip. By then he had stamped my passport and upon closing he said to me, without humour, “No. You are from Taiwan. You were only Naturalized in South Africa”, and with that he dismissed me by handing me my passport. I was completely taken aback. And as I walked away, I was completely speechless. In all my 22 years, there have been few times that I have been this insulted. I am a proud South African. I defend this country when I’m abroad, whether in the USA, or in other Asian countries where I’ve certainly been met with countless criticisms about staying here. I fight with my parents and defend the potential and the worth of this country as they criticize. Not to mention other less proud South Africans who didn’t bother to vote, I fought them too, imploring them to take a stand, to use their voice, to make a difference... I participate in various student leadership roles, largely for driving community service programs in order to improve less advantaged schools, volunteering and rallying up further volunteers to tutor less advantaged students on weekends, leading committees of students to help me with these causes. I do this because I believe that South Africa can be improved through education, and since I’m an avid scholar, this is the best way in which I can make a contribution. In however small a way I can, I try. But apparently loving and working and fighting for this country is not enough to deserve a welcome back, because I am “only naturalized in South Africa”. I’d thought we have worked past all of the idiocies of racism, at least at the GATES of this country will we show that the majority of us have learnt from our history and would now like to work to make this country a better place? That the men at our gates do not take one look at my Asian skin and tell me that I do not deserve to be welcome in my country! What reason do I have to carry on working for and loving this place if it clearly does not want me to be here? I don’t chase after a man that does not love me back, and the same applies for South Africa. South Africa complains about the “brain drain”. Well the men at our gates are not making any effort to make us feel welcome enough to stay.

Information is given as to the location of the bus & coach terminal. However the names of the city-wide who depart from the airport are not given. This makes it difficult/impossible to book in advance via the internet. Kindly respond to my email address.

cathy resca

I was totally disgusted today, when I arrived at the domestic drop off area at the total lack of reaction by your " traffic controller" I phone the airport yesterday to enquire as to how to manage " disabled parking " and obtain a wheelchair as I had to drop off my mother who is a passenger requiring assistance. A very helpful member of staff ( called Malema ) gave me a cell phone number to call when we arrived so the parking and wheel chair could be arranged. We did this and when called Malema then asked to speak to a " traffic controller " on my phone. I found one. After the conversation the " traffic controller " simply handed the cel phone back to me and stood with his arms folded. When I asked where a wheel chair could be obtained he thumbed over his shoulder in the direction of domestic departures. When I asked if I could park in the disabled parking area he simply shrugged. I then moved the traffic cones myself and parked my car. I left my aged mother and sister standing on the sidewalk while I RAN inside to collect a wheelchair. The SAA staff member, John, who saw me running to the wheelchairs was wonderful. He rushed to assist my mother and took over with the checking in procedures. Unfortunately I did not get the name of the extreemly unenthusiastic " traffic controller ". However I feel that in South Africa where discrimination against the disabled is unacceptable this matter should receive the airport's attention

Hi, Please have a look at www.autoporters.co.za. They are a shuttle company and transport operator. I discovered them on the internet when i last visited pretoria. I'm sure it would ideal for ACSA to approach, as i dont think they registered with the airport.They gave me & my family fantastic service and helped me around Gauteng.Thank you. autoporters shuttle services.
