In a statement, the ANC called out the woman's behavior as unruly and unbecoming, saying that it was against the movement's values and principles. Regardless of whether this individual is an ANC member, we unequivocally state that no one has the right to behave in such an unacceptable manner. The ANC has distanced itself from a woman who was caught on camera causing disruptions on a FlySafair flight, calling herself “ANC b*%#” and that nothing can happen to her.

The incident happened on December 26, Boxing Day, during a flight from Durban to Cape Town, and was captured on camera.
