THIS is the shocking footage that shows a plane passenger throwing her drink at a stewardess before tossing her wig and attacking other travellers.

Some onboard can be heard shouting and screaming as the mid-air bust up worsens.

According to those onboard, the outrageous incident began once the plane had left Durban on December 26.

Flight crew refused to serve more alcohol to the woman who has since been identified as South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) Brand Manager, Nobuntu ‘Nobs’ Mkhize.

After the top TV boss was reportedly too drunk, she can be seen hurling her drink at a flight attendant.

Loudly bombarding her with abuse, a number of other passengers stood up to discover what the commotion was about.

Nearby members of the general public can be seen trying to help flight attendants restrain the woman, stretching over their seats.

Mkhize can be heard shouting “you cannot do this” as she throws her drink directly at an air stewardesses face, who desperately holds her hands up.

Others on the plane gasped at the appalling moment which saw nearby passengers covered by the liquid with one woman ducking to avoid the splash.

Some of those nearby recorded the moment on their phone before the FlySafair flight could reach its destination in Cape Town, South Africa.

Mkhize can also be heard shouting “menial” in the direction of crew as she struggles against being restrained.

A number of passengers, fed up with the angry outburst, were also filmed piling in to help restrain her while others jeered.

In a bizarre twist Mkhize whips off her blonde wig and continues to rant from her seat.

She only lets up her tirade when police board the plane in Cape Town and escort her off the aircraft.

Mkhize later denied being drunk and said she planned to sue the airline, according to local media reports.

FlySafair spokesperson Kirby Gorden said: “We condemn any behaviour of this nature.

“Flight attendants have a primary duty as safety officers and interfering with their duties is a criminal offence.

“This passenger will be placed on our no-fly list and will not be welcome on future FlySafair flights.”
