Unpleasant experience on Flysafair 602 27 September 2024
I would like to report an incident that happened on a Safair flight 27 September 2024 Flight 602 which was planned to take off at 1745 from OR Tambo international airport to Cape town International airport. I was sitting on the middle seat 6E and a gentleman (I don't know I should call him gentle because he was not gentle at all) sat on 6D. This man forced his right arm under my elbow and kept on pushing my arm under pressure like fighting. I asked the man to stop putting pressure on my left arm and his response was that "you want to take both armrests alone". I told him to stop and he kept on pushing my arm under pressure. This happened during the pushback and whilst the aircraft was taxiing and the air hostess was checking the passenger,I got the attention of the hostess and reported this man to stop putting pressure and hurting me on my arm. He was nonchalant and the hostess said she'll look for a seat so that either one of us move to when the aircraft is cruising. After reporting , the member stopped doing what he was doing. This incident was my worst experience in Safair flight because we have to learn to share the small and confined space we are sitting in. I didn't like it at all and to me it felt like a combination of race and woman abuse. I would like the management of Safair to attend to this as this member will continue treating other passengers in the same manner and for the member to apologize for his behaviour.
