Bwana,

Unfortunatley, what you just described seems to be very indicative of the employee status of the Joburg airport employees in general. When I went this year, my guns sat in Joburg for 5 flights,..no one giving it a thought that "hey, maybe we should send those along with the flight to Harare"..finally, I emailed my travel agent in Texas who emailed their contact in Joburg who drove to the airport...there sat my guns...when he questioned the staff..they said.."yeah, we were going to get to it today" ....wow...

When returning, I got to the Delta Check-in...I was 5th in line...had 3 hours and 45 minutes till my next flight...2 hours and 35 minutes later--they had me checked in...amazing...most disorganinzed airport I have ever been too, period...and they are hosting the World Soccer games in 2010...they are going to need to make HUGE improvements to pull that one off...
