(eTN) - International visitors to South Africa's OR Tambo Airport were given a rude awakening after the words "F*** Y**" were displayed on all welcome sign boards, the Son reported on Friday.

The tabloid ran pictures of the offending message on the electronic boards.

OR Tambo spokesperson Nothemba Noruwane said they did not know who was responsible for the "greeting".

Noruwane said: "We are still trying to find out what happened... who put those words on. Many workers had access to the system and the matter is under investigation.

"Many workers' access to the system has been revoked and only a few ACSA members now have access to the system," she said.
