THE VERY APPOINTMENT OF NTIYISO Consulting, be it for advisory and investigative purposes or the enabling of it to appoint external contractors, is unlawful – Judge J Ranchod.
The absurd decisions of the Tshwane Metro to disregard its own highly qualified, experienced officials to benefit private contracted service providers at the city’s Wonderboom National Airport have finally been stopped in their tracks by the high court.
On 12 February Judge J Ranchod granted the Wonderboom Airport Interest Group (WAIG) an interim interdict against Tshwane, suspending the appointment of Ntiyiso Consulting (Pty) Ltd with immediate affect.
The judge also ordered the metro municipality to appoint, within 15 days, a properly qualified airport manager to run the entire operational function.
In August last year Noseweek revealed that Wonderboom was falling apart since the DA-led Tshwane municipality, licence holder of the airport, had appointed a private company, Professional Aviation Services (PAS) in 2017 to run the airport. The city’s once-proud asset, previously managed perfectly well by its own employees, has since been downgraded as a result of mismanagement.

Everybody Drinks Corona
I am hesitant to go Into the pub today. Not because it’s illegal, but there is a crème colored 1985 Mercedes 300D parked behind the pine tree. This means the devil is inside; that’s what we call Dr. De Villiers. You don’t know whether you will encounter the good doctor with the charming bedside manner or the violent, bipolar bully. The problem is, most of the time, you can never be sure which it is, so it’s best to always keep a social distance.

Bush school – A memoir
OUR SCHOOL WAS IN THE MIDDLE of the bush, ten miles from the nearest town in the harsh beauty of the Zimbabwean highveld. It started life in World War II as No 26 EFTS Guinea Fowl, a Royal Air Force elementary flying training school and I arrived there in 1954, just seven years after it became an all-white co-ed state boarding school.
