The World's Top 100 Airports voted by international airline customers at the 2013 World Airport Awards.

So?

Adura_ngba: So?

we know how to build and run airports

Andrew, are the even any other African airports on the top 100? I do not think so. I think its unfair actually to compete with any country in Africa we are more a world standard country not continantal standard. We are up the with the best.

And just to inform the "White people build it" chorus crew these Airport were extended and refurbished in the post apartheid error.

Thanks Andrew for sharing. I love my country and am very proud if its achievement but will remain critical of its bad, a learner from its mistake and an activist against any failure to serve its people.

Great, but miners won't be able to fly because they are either starved to death by mining companies or shut to death by police whenever they ask for a better pay.

No because they stupid. They want a pay increase that would see them earn more than people univirsy level educstion going high skill work that is also dangouris.

Now this is a silly statement to say the least. Which miners that earn over R8000 after marikana are starving.

In SA you can get tickets from Capetown to Joburg for R600 so yes if a starving miner wants to fly they can do so.

Better pay is a worldwide issue and SA is not immune to protest.
