    Yes, I can see they don't operate your route

    I contacted Lift and it’s R750 each way. Can anyone vouch for their reliability? If so I think I’ll go with them!
    A side point, are there specific requirements for the lockable box? Where can I get something that meets the spec

    I would have thought that losing a firearm would be a serious breach of the firearms control act. If a courier loses the firearm then what happens? are they charged?

    Yes, your tax Rands are currently being squandered on very empty flights on the few aircraft that were not reposed while they "look for a strategic partner" amongst the connected few

    Yip. The ANC government will never walk a straight line. No opportunity to steal is passed up. I'm prepared to bet that if an SAA deal ever goes through it will be heavily funded by us and will result in some people with FA aviation industry background getting very wealthy.

    So the feedback I got was that yes a Glock box is suitable as long as it can be locked in a way which ensures it cannot be opened at all.

    Glad you were assisted DDB. If I recall correctly your FA is kept in the cockpit with the pilots and not with all the luggage, so relatively safe.
