The South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) said it is contemplating taking the FlySafair incident to the Equality Court after reports of an altercation on a Durban to Cape Town flight ran rampant. This comes after an SABC employee allegedly verbally and physically attacked a flight attendant.
Speaking on VOC’s Sunday Live show, the SAHRC’s Chairperson, Chris Nissen, said nobody has the right to insult another someone’s dignity.
