Following recent reports of incidents of plane crashes around the Cape Town area, the Democratic Alliance (DA) in the Western Cape has expressed concern over the increasing number of crashes:
In a statemtent, Western Cape DA said risk of rising plane crashes pose a significant risk to the safety and security of local communities and cannot be ignored.
‘The increase in plane crashes, some of which have been fatal, poses an imminent threat to our communities, and this is not a matter we can take lightly. We must take decisive action to mitigate these risks,’ said the statement.on 28 March. An armed response and emergensy service provider found two pilots outside the aircraft when arriving on the scene, with one pilot having sustained serious injuries while the other pilot’s injuries were moderate.just over a month earlier in February.
In an effort to adress the pressing concern, DA WC spokesperson for WC Parliament’s Standing Committee on Mobility, Derrick America, invites the South African Civil Aviation Authority and all relevant aviation industry stakeholders to appear before the committee, as well as members of the public who would like to share their concerns and insights.
‘We need to understand their strategies to prevent the prevalence of plane crashes in the Cape Town metro and surrounds, particularly with the recent proliferation of flying schools in the region,’ said America. ‘We will closely monitor their progress and hold them accountable for their commitments to improving safety standards’.
