No fly zone

Flying pests

flying high

Going down fighting

Falling apart

Golden parachutes

Its hard to fathom - our national airline has had five CEOs in six years, each outdoing the previous in uselessness and corruption, and yet they all bail out with a golden parachute to soften the landing. You're supposed to be uplifting the nation, not your corrupt comrades!

Parasites

Our scumbag president really takes the cake.  He appoints a girlfriend (not counting four official wives) to chair the board at South African Airways, our famous national carrier that has to be bailed out regularly with taxpayer's money.  This brilliant manager has been caught lying about her non existent academic qualifications. She appoints a dodgy CEO who is supposed to have been suspended but is still at work.  At the SABC, another ailing parastatal with financial baggage, another girlfriend is appointed as chairperson of the board.  She is currently embroiled in a court battle to prove she actually has the degrees she claims on her CV. She has just appointed a dodgy acting CEO (who was supposed to be suspended) to CEO so he can make some dodgy appointments before he is booted.  How I wish they'd all end up behind bars permanently.

in a flat spin

South African Airways is owned by the state and therefore is subsidized by the taxpayer.  For the past few years they have received literally billions of rand to keep flying.  To add insult to injury, SAA flights are expensive and of course the in flight bag of peanuts really leaves you feeling like you're being treated like a monkey.
