HARARE Michael Roberts Jersey , Aug. 19 (Xinhua) -- Zimbabwe on Saturday morning barred a South African Airways (SAA) plane bound for Johannesburg from leaving Harare International Airport because it did not have a foreign operating license as required by law.
The grounding of the plane came after South Africa's civil aviation authority on Friday barred Zimbabwe's plane that was due to fly from Johannesburg to Harare from leaving.
SAA on Saturday responded to the cancellation of its flight by Harare by cancelling all its flights to Zimbabwe for the day.
State broadcaster, the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) quoted transport minister Joram Gumbo as saying that the grounding of the flights between the two countries was a compliance issue and not political as both airlines failed to renew their foreign operating licenses as required by international aviation regulations.
The minister said the civil aviation authorities of the two countries were handling the matter which he hoped will be resolved urgently.
The transport minister said he had discussed the issue with his South African counterpart but had left the aviation authorities to address the matter.
The row between the two airlines comes after Zimbabwean First Lady, Grace Mugabe, allegedly assaulted a South African woman last Sunday at a Johannesburg hotel.
South African police wanted to take the First Lady to the courts to face assault charges but the First Lady has since requested for diplomatic immunity against the charges.
Meanwhile Kenny Golladay Jersey , the First Lady remains in South Africa where her husband President Robert Mugabe is attending a SADC summit that ends Sunday.

Skateboarding can be a risky sport. If you do not have the essential protective gadgets, you might end up getting severely injured from skateboarding. One of the most common protective gears used in skateboarding is the helmet. You should get one that fits you perfectly so safety can be guaranteed during the activity. You should also remember that helmets used in biking and skateboarding are entirely different. Helmets used for skateboarding are specially designed to protect the back of the head so you can have proper cushioning where you are most likely to land on.
The Quality Helmet
One needs to pay close attention to the quality of a helmet. It should be certified by the proper authorities to ensure that it can provide the kind of protection you need. Cheap imitations are not recommended because they are not made under the same standards as the original ones. It can put you at risk for injury because of the poor quality it provides. Two types of helmets are used in skateboarding. The first one is the single impact helmet which is used for basic skateboard enthusiasts. The other type is the multiple helmet protection system which provides extra safety during riskier moves in skateboarding.
