WHAT ABOUT POSSIBLE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THIS WEB PAGE?

HOME

We are expecting KLM to try to put a stop this web page. This web page is published by Temba College CC in South Africa. Our address is 11 Broad Oaks Close, Somerset West and we are ready to approach the South African High Court in Cape Town with reasons why they should not stop the publication of these facts. It is clearly in the interest of the public at large to keep this web page going.

We will be able to do our submission to the court within 24 hours after we are requested to do so. We therefore respectfully submit that the court must not grant such an order as a matter of urgency.

We gave KLM more than a week to respond to our request and they never answered our letters. We would prefer to deal with it through our respected courts but their unwillingness to even answer our laywers letters does not allow us any other option other than taking this matter to the public domain.

International law makes it clear that wherever a dispute arises, all parties concerned must try to avoid additional and unnecessary costs. KLM could have prevented additional costs in various ways.

  1. They could have kept my and my own daughter’s passports until such time that the dispute was resolved. We volunteered to hand our passports to them. They then held a meeting and they refused this.
  2. There were enough open seats on the aircraft on Wednesday, 16 July to Cape Town.. They took it upon themselves to take off with a half empty aircraft to Cape Town and left 20 young people stranded who had paid in full for the flight.
  3. They could have minimized costs by responding to my attorneys letter in time. We are in fact still awaiting a response.

We did everything possible to keep the costs as low as possible. We accommodated the students in an affordable hotel, transported them by means of public transport, gave them reasonable meals and the minimum entertainment that any young person who is kept in an hotel room for a week, could have expected.
