@Fav_Unc
"Reminds me of the Swaziland Covid permit."
@mtakababa007
"Even lobola letters are no longer sent like this."
@hiddensecretes replied:

Meanwhile, @deemativ defended the airline:
"Nothing unusual. Most people never leave their villages. They don't travel. When a system collapses, which always happens, life must go on. It's a small glitch. A few minutes or hours, it's up and running. How many times have you gone to Home Affairs and you are told the system is down, come back tomorrow? These guys are saying system down or not, planes must move."

@MitchPlayer responded:
"Those defending this are justifying rubbish! Those were based on system issues. Also, even though handwritten, they’re still done on paper with airline branding and colours. The Zim one is a no-name. They cut out plain A4 paper to write those boarding passes."
@HairyQuagmire added:
"Ticketing systems temporarily go down. Waiting for them to be fixed can result in major delays. It's more common than we'd like to think."
