Kulula passenger who used k-word loses her job
A Kulula passenger, who called two fellow passengers and the pilot the k-word, has lost her job. This, as the two passengers reunited to make sense of their ordeal.
SMC Pneumatics confirmed that Alochna Moodley no longer worked for the company, after she was suspended and put through a disciplinary process. It is not clear which position she occupied.
The company, which said it does not tolerate racism, has not yet confirmed whether she resigned or was fired.
Moodley, 26, had been sitting between two men - Reverend Solomuzi Mabuza, 44, and driver Sibusiso Magubane, 37, on the 22:40 flight from OR Tambo International Airport to Durban.
Mabuza called her out after he saw her referring to them and the pilot by the k-word, in a message typed in a large font on her phone. A shocked Mabuza informed the cabin crew and Moodley was kicked off the plane.
