A Safair Boeing 737-400, registration ZS-DMI performing flight FA-369 from Johannesburg to Port Elizabeth (South Africa), was climbing through FL280 out of Johannesburg when the crew stopped the climb due to a water leak in the cockpit, the leaking water ingressing some aircraft systems resulting in smoke in the cockpit. The aircraft landed safely back on Johannesburg’s runway 03L about 30 minutes after departure.

South Africa’s CAA have opened an investigation into the occurrence.
