By Cllr Francois Bekker
The second fuel crisis within a month threatened to paralyze aviation activity at the Wonderboom airport this week. The first fuel shortage saga occurred exactly a month ago from what appears to be the result of short sighted management decisions affecting fuel supplies to the airport negatively.
The DA described the situation at the airport as shocking and called on the Tshwane Metro to come clean on the reasons for the fuel shortage.
“A blame game between the Council and the fuel supplier will not solve the problem that is clearly more serious than was initially thought.” said Councillor Francois Bekker. “What is to be avoided is to continue addressing the symptoms and ignoring the reasons that led to this situation which is fast becoming an aviation disaster and a public relations disaster for the city.” Bekker added.
The DA further expressed its disappointment with the ANC led Council in that the problems at the Wonderboom Airport was not even tabled for discussion at the last Transport and Roads portfolio meeting. “A question that needs to be answered is why the contract with the previous fuel supplier was cancelled in the first place.” Bekker said
The DA is pressing for a clear indication about the plans to avoid a repeat of the crisis.
