Those who have interacted with Mamparanobs say they always knew that one day she would top local trending topics, but she has gone one better and attained global status: even foreign media, such as the New York Post, are chortling at her moment of in-flight turbulence.

The DA and the Patriotic Alliance have reported her racist comments to the police, and her employer, the SABC, says it takes a dim view of the behaviour of its brand manager. What a way to promote the broadcaster’s brand!

The good news is that none of us will be seated next to her any time soon on a FlySafair flight — the airline has barred her from its planes.
