Business

• ACSA: Reports yet another profit.

• Pearl Thusi: SARS has issued a final tax demand to the actress, claiming she owes close to R15 million. Her spokesperson, Siphithi Sibeko, said she is engaging directly with SARS. Thusi acknowledged the matter, saying she takes her tax responsibilities seriously, but claims the R15m figure is “grossly incorrect and therefore misleading.”

Airport Rankings by Revenue and Profitability

Important Note: The provided financial statements are consolidated for the entire Airports Company South Africa (ACSA). The documents do not provide a breakdown of revenue or profitability for individual airports. Therefore, a direct ranking of airports by revenue and profitability is impossible based on this data.

However, based on passenger volume (a primary driver of aeronautical revenue), the likely order of financial contribution is:

1. O.R. Tambo (highest traffic, likely highest revenue)

2. Cape Town

3. King Shaka

4. Chief Dawid Stuurman (despite the data anomaly, it is an international airport with significant traffic)

5. Remaining Regional Airports (George, King Phalo, Bram Fischer, Kimberley, Upington) contribute smaller portions.
