- A woman in South Africa was barred from boarding a flight
- The airline told her she was wheelchair-bound and had no companion
- She was left on the ground even though she had traveled several times before, without any trouble
A woman from KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, and who has to use a wheelchair, was recently in the middle of one of the most embarrassing moments of her life. Representatives from a Mango flight refused to let her on board, because there was not another person accompanying her.
Sebenzile Mthembu is used to being very independent, and despite her disability, she fends on her own, and lives independently.
Yet that day, February 24, people from the Durban-bound flight she had booked did not think the same way. It was to no avail that she insisted she had flown many times before on her own.
Mthembu was quite aghast at the airline's pitiful decision.
