For the primary time in its 88-year historical past, two black African feminine pilots operated a South African Airways flight.
The flight from Johannesburg to Cape City was commandeered by Captain Annabel Vundla and First Officer Refilwe Moreetsi.
‘My message to younger ladies is that your desires are legitimate,’ Moreetsi encouragingly stated. ‘If it is a profession you want to comply with, it’s potential. Your gender and your race usually are not a barrier.’
Captain Vundla is SAA’s first Black African Feminine Captain and First Officer Moreetsi will not be solely a seasoned and skilled pilot but in addition the primary Black African feminine Administration Pilot – answerable for Fatigue Danger Administration on the airline.
‘South Africans can really feel pleased with a nationwide service that’s actually represented of our variety and we have a good time that. SAA is a non-discriminatory, non-racial, equal alternatives employer with a strategic transformational function,’ stated SAA Government for Human Sources, Mpho Letlape.
