Solomon Makgale Quotations

We are pleased to report that we have received feedback from the jet fuel consortium to the effect that supply will be back to normal by this weekend.

There is no need to panic as the situation is under control and will be closely monitored daily until a solution is found.

We still encourage the airlines to continue with the voluntary 15% fuel rationing where possible.

We will be led by the police investigation in this regard but, without a doubt, disciplinary steps will be taken against those implicated.

This was done to cut communication between staff and criminals.

We expect the corresponding period to March 2006 to show similar growth.

Details around how the incident occurred, how much was stolen and who did it are under police investigation.

As far as we are aware, the evaluation process is continuing. We are awaiting the outcome.

This may result in a fuel shortage at the Johannesburg International Airport, and the need for fuel rationing. All airlines were requested to immediately begin voluntary fuel rationing, where possible, of at least 15% less than normal operations.

The objective of these observations is to contribute towards the safety, regularity and efficiency of aircraft operations during takeoff and landing.

If not, people should arrange to be dropped off at the airport. The airport is experiencing severe parking congestion due to higher than expected demand.
