CHAOS AT OR TAMBO: TRAVELERS STRANDED AS AIRPORT CONTROL “FAILS,” WHILE GOVERNMENT TARGETS THE ELDERLY AND THE ANC PREPARES ITS LIES
Thousands of travelers are trapped in a growing crisis at OR Tambo International Airport RIGHT NOW, left in the dark as the system controlling the nation’s busiest airspace buckles under pressure. The Air Traffic Navigation Services (ATNS) admits to “addressing” massive delays, but furious passengers are flooding social media with proof: no warnings, no information on screens, just endless uncertainty. Picture this: Hein Kaiser’s image captures the very airport where families are stuck, a symbol of a breaking point.
This transportation MELTDOWN is just the start. In a shocking move, the Department of Transport has CONFIRMED it will now force drivers over 70 years old to jump through the same brutal, dysfunctional licence renewal hurdles as everyone else. Their solution to a collapsing system? Punish the elderly.
And as the country burns—with the weather service warning of EXTREME fire danger and damaging winds—the ruling ANC is preparing its annual birthday party. Political analyst Andre Duvenhage warns President Cyril Ramaphosa will use his January 8 Statement, likely from a stage like the one in Gallo Images/Sharon Seretlo’s photo, to downplay this avalanche of failure. While Bafana Bafana’s coach Hugo Broos denies his team has gone backwards after a humiliating AFCON exit, as seen in Majt Esseddik’s photo from BackpagePix, the nation itself is sliding into chaos.
From gridlocked highways to grounded planes and a government targeting its seniors while partying, every pillar is shaking.
They are not fixing the collapse—they are just redistributing the pain.
