ANC members not queens of air

In the mid-2000s, Joko Tea ran a humorous ad where a bombastic businessman abused airport check-in staff by demanding special treatment with the strident question: "Do you know who I am?"

- 

One of the staff responded by going on the public address system and appealing for help because someone "doesn't know who he is..."

That ad was being shared this week as another egregious example of our toxic culture of entitlement reared its head when senior SABC manager Nobuntu Mkhize was caught on camera causing a disturbance and hurling racist comments at cabin crew on a Fly-Safair flight on Boxing Day.
