FlySafair / Safair Operations review: Boarding gate service

I am extremely angered by what occurred prior to the departure of my 5pm Flysafair flight from OR Tambo to King Shaka International today. The flight was delayed for several minutes, which was not in and of itself a problem. We learned of the delay only as every single passenger had been congregating at the boarding gate waiting to board. The staff members on duty allowed a large number of passengers to remain congregated in a confined space with no ventilation, with absolutely no social distancing for almost half an hour. This is in Johannesburg - which is experiencing a devastating third wave.

I am shocked by the utter disregard for human life that I witnessed today and I am seriously considering notifying the Department of Health about this incident.
