Filwaqt li kien jahdem loader mal-Air Malta, qatt ma kien jidher ghax xoghol.

Bhala ringrazzjament tas-servizz siewi li ghamel ghal Air Malta, in-Nazzjonalisti tawh kuntratt tal-cleaning tal-ajruport.

Kemm kellu hbieb l-Air Malta! Isibuh bhal bin Mintoff!

Qatt ma tqazzez ma hadd almenu, u smajna li ghandu shab mieghu ras kbira ohra. L-Air Malta regghat gedditlu l-kuntratt mid-dehra.

I do not know about the cleaning contracts but he did get a few retail concessions at the Airport. This happened during a Nationalist government – but that’s another story.

I am not surprised by any of what Gafà is says here. He is obsessed with Mintoff and never made a secret of it.

He introduces himself as “Dominic, taf ghal Mintoff semmewni”.

He is illiterate but seems to have learnt the tricks of how to do business by getting the right people into his pocket.

Incidentally he was a porter/loader with AirMalta and was, at the same time, given retail concessions at the airport. As I said how and why is another interesting story.
