Former Ukhozi FM presenter Ngizwe Mchunu has caused quite a buzz on social media after video footage of his alleged "disruptive" behaviour on an aircraft went viral.
The often controversial character was heard singing and chanting on a FlySafair flight while also shouting at a flight attendant.
His behaviour, according to FlySafair, "was disruptive and in violation of standard aviation safety protocols, including adherence to safety belt signs."

TimesLive reported that Mchunu said that he was embracing tradition and feels it is his right to do so wherever he goes.
"Next month is Heritage Month, and we, as Africans, exercise our right to embrace our different cultures and traditions. Why do Africans always get oppressed in everything they do culturally? I did nothing wrong," he said.
FlySafair marketing officer Kirby Gordon also commented on the incident, saying: "The cabin crew on flight FA169 encountered a group of passengers whose behaviour was disruptive and in violation of standard aviation safety protocols, including adherence to safety belt signs."
