Johannesburg: South Africa's national airline SAA has apologised to the country's Paralympic medallist Tyrone Pillay after he was stopped from boarding a flight with his spare prosthetic leg, a spokesman said yesterday.
The incident happened on Tuesday as Pillay was returning from the Paralympic Games in Rio De Janeiro, where he won a bronze medal in shot put.
The medallist revealed on Twitter that a South African Airways (SAA) staffer had stopped him from boarding a flight from Johannesburg to Durban.
