The Democratic Alliance has blamed the South African Airways (SAA) flights being cancelled on the Grace Mugabe assault situation.
SAA on Saturday said all flights to and from Zimbabwe were cancelled for the day.The DA’s Shadow Deputy Minister of Finance, Alfred Lees said they found the sudden cancellation of flights coincidental amid reports surrounding Zimbabwe’s first lady.
“The DA is concerned about reports that a South African Airways flight has been grounded in Zimbabwe, that other SAA flights from Zimbabwe have been cancelled, and that an Air Zimbabwe aircraft is being detained at OR Tambo International Airport,” Lees said.

An Air Zimbabwe plane was grounded on Friday and it could not take off due to an expired foreign operators’ permit.
However, Lees said sources at the airline said this was not a reason to ground flights as countries in the SADC region had agreements all the time.
The DA urged Minister of Finance, Malusi Gigaba to address the matter and confirm the safety of passengers and crew in Zimbabwe.
Meanwhile, Transport Minister Joe Maswanganyi is set to meet with aviation authorities to discuss the grounding of an Air Zimbabwe plane. SA Opposition Blames SAA Flights Cancellation On Grace Mugabe Assault.
