The head of flight safety at the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) resigned on Monday after serving with the organisation for 14 years in different roles.
Obert Chakarisa held the post of Acting Executive Manager: Accident & Incident Investigation at the SACAA from March last year and General Manager: Aircraft Safety at the SACAA from April 2008.
According to spokesperson Phindiwe Gwebu, Chakarisa is continuing his career elsewhere.
“It is rather too early to talk about his replacement since he resigned quite recently,” noted Kabelo Ledwaba, Communications manager at the SACAA, when asked for comment.
