SAA's wings in full flight - and profitable!
Following several challenging years, State-owned airline, South African Airways (SAA), is now in a position to contribute economic value. This is according to Transport Minister Barbara Creecy, who presented the departmental Budget Vote in Parliament on Wednesday morning. SAA was racked by allegations of fraud and corruption during the State capture years. It was put under business rescue and grounded but has recovered to fly domestic, continental and international flights. 'With unencumbered assets and renewed profitability, SAA is well-positioned to drive economic value through expanded international services, job creation, and increased contributions to tourism and trade,' Creecy said. Furthermore, the airline is now contributing to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). 'According to [an Oxford Economics Africa] study, SAA contributed R9.1 billion to South Africa's GDP in 2023/24, a figure projected to more than triple to R32.6 billion by 2029/2030. Over the same period, the airline's operations are expected to support 86 700 jobs, up from the current 25 000, demonstrating its growing role as a national employer and economic catalyst. 'The airline has concluded three out of four outstanding audits and reported a profit of R252 million for the 2022/23 financial year for the first time since 2012. Now operating independently and no longer reliant on government guarantees, SAA is self-funding its operations and fleet growth, while remaining open to a strategic equity partner as part of its long-term restructuring,' the Minister highlighted. Creecy revealed that the Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) has been allocated some R21.7 billion for infrastructure development. '[This is] in order to meet our target of moving 42 million passengers per year and increasing air freight handling through the ACSA network of airports. This will improve facilities for passenger safety and comfort over the medium-term and build a new freight terminal at OR Tambo International Airport. 'In addition, we are fast tracking projects to ensure reliable availability of jet fuel to all airlines at all our airports, as well as the general upkeep and upgrading of facilities and technologies at each of our airports to improve both security of passengers and cargo, as well as convenience of airport users,' she said. Creecy told Parliament that the state of roads in South Africa remains an important issue that the department is concerned about, with the South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL) taking over some 3 099 kilometers of provincial roads over the past year. 'Over the period of the MTDP [Medium-Term Development Plan] and beyond, SANRAL has reprioritised within the existing maintenance and capital allocated funding so that these roads are serviced through the Route Road Maintenance Programme,' she said. Creecy also revealed that the driver's licence printing machine is now back in operation. 'The old card machine is currently fixed and we are hard at work to clear out the printing backlog of licence cards. To ensure we have a backup solution, we have signed a MOU with the Government Printing Works. We expect that within three months, this backup solution will be able to print driver's licence cards,' she said.

Genevieve Nel's Journey in Diplomatic Catering
Mail and Guardian spoke to Genevieve Nel from the renowned Norma & Co catering company. What are some of your most memorable catering experiences? Many of my most memorable experiences stem from years back when my mom and aunts started Norma and Vilma Caterers. I was just a young girl, and we had the honour to cater for and subsequently meet Pope John Paul II when he visited South Africa. All our families had the honour to meet him, and it was the most incredible day. What is your philosophy on food and catering? You need to love what you do to provide food that tastes and looks good. We try to always create an environment at work with happy and fulfilled team members. A happy chef creates beautiful food. What makes your catering business unique? We take great pride in basing our business on creating relationships with clients. This is the cornerstone of our business and has always been, even when the business started 30 years ago. How do you stay up-to-date with the latest trends in catering? Social media is a huge influence in my business. I am always getting new ideas online, but we also work with a wonderful group of event planners and coordinators who push us out of our comfort zone, often creating new and wonderful food experiences. What is your culinary guilty pleasure? I am simple when it comes to food. I love a night out at a nice restaurant—not a fancy expensive one, but the local family restaurant in the neighbourhood with my husband and children. That's just perfect for me. You are becoming known as an 'Ambassador of Local Flavours' in diplomatic circles. What is the major thing you want to teach diplomats about South African food? I wouldn't say we are gurus in local flavours, but we love to bring South African flavours into international dishes. We are blessed enough to be entrusted with some wonderful National Days where we try new international cuisines, which become popular with our other clients afterwards. South Africans have wide exposure to international food—we grew up with families that ate anything and everything, so we are very lucky to have been exposed to such a variety of flavours. Who influenced you the most? There is no doubt that my mother, Norma, has been my biggest influencer in the catering business. She started and ran Norma and Vilma Caterers successfully for 25 years until COVID. Thereafter, she and I started Norma and Co on our own in 2021, and although she has taken a step back from the business, she still works and runs the business in the background. She still has a big influence on the flavours and recipes we create and produce. Your work involves a great deal of creativity. Where do you find your inspiration? A lot of our setups and creations involve trial and error. We have wonderful suppliers such as florists and equipment décor companies that assist with beautiful equipment and flowers, but staying on top of trends in the catering business worldwide also helps with inspiration. There are many caterers creating amazing things daily. Thanks to social media, we can draw inspiration globally now. When did your business begin? Norma and Co started in 2021 during COVID, built on the backbone of Norma and Vilma Caterers. COVID hit our industry hard, and instead of closing our doors permanently, we decided to restructure, move our premises, downsize substantially, and start again. This was a huge leap of faith, but we are so grateful that we were able to remain relevant to some of our clients and have gained so many more along the way. Which was the first embassy you catered for? I was still a young girl, but I remember my mom and aunts catering for the Embassy of Peru's National Day even before the business had business premises—when the business was still being run from our kitchen in our family home. How many embassies do you now cater for? In diplomatic circles, there is always changeover of staff regularly, so we are always grateful for our South African contacts that carry us through the different missions. We work with a wonderful group of ambassadors, high commissioners, consul generals, and many others currently. I would estimate we probably work with approximately 25 embassies at the moment.

Travel turbulence: Travellers encounter long queues at OR Tambo
Travellers at Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport were caught in long queues on Tuesday, 1 July, following changes to security checkpoint procedures. As reported by TimesLive , the Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) acknowledged what it called 'operational disruptions' and said it was working to restore normal service levels. By late Tuesday, ACSA reported that domestic operations had mostly stabilised, with additional staff deployed to support international passengers.
