Well, it's good news. On 6th July there was toilet paper in the Cape Town International Airport (see June 17 below) and the broken toilet had been fixed. The general murkiness still hung heavily in the air which combined nicely with the slippery floors giving the toilets a kind of Mediaeval farmyard ambience. So I think the CTIA can be upgraded in their classification from outright scary to barely acceptable.
Oh yes, I wrote to SAA about this and they say that I should contact ACSA which is the organisation which cares for the airports. I should combine this message with reference to the Johannesburg International airport where the escalators were not working on Wednesday, and the lifts regularly break down. This turns the airport experience into a combination between a high tech gym and a shopping mall where you have to walk the maximum distance in order to reach your destination to make sure that at some point along the way you definitiely need to stop for a health drink, a hamburger and a gucci handbag.
