The South African Civil Aviation Authority is charged with promoting, regulating and enforcing civil aviation safety.
About us
The South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) is a Schedule 3A public entity in terms of the Public Finance Management Act (“PFMA”). It was established on the 1st of October 1998, following the enactment of the now repealed South African Civil Aviation Authority Act,1998 (Act No.40 of 1998). The Act provided for the establishment of a stand-alone authority charged with promoting, regulating and enforcing civil aviation safety and security. It reflected the Government's priorities and was in line with international trends in the aviation world where more and more states implemented this option. The abovementioned Act was repealed as a whole by the Civil Aviation Act, 2009, (Act No.13 of 2009). The Act, provides for the establishment of a stand-alone authority mandated with controlling, promoting, regulating, supporting, developing, enforcing and continuously improving levels of safety and security throughout the civil aviation industry. The SACAA is an agency of the Department of Transport (DoT). The above is to be achieved by complying with the Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), whilst considering the local context.

DCA Poppy Khoza's insights at the Aviation Africa conference underscores the challenges posed by aero-political issues and calls for increased collaboration among African nations. She noted that Africa has more opportunities than it has challenges. “Let's work together to build a more connected, prosperous, and sustainable aviation industry in Africa”. In addition, Ms. Khoza noted that AFCAC needs to be given more “teeth” to be able to establish standards and enforce them. AFCAC must ensure that the playing field is leveled and reduce the misalignment and disintegration in the Continent on both the SAATM & the harmonisation of standards to ensure uniform implementation and improve compliance. #AVAF24
