Is it a breach of South African Law or International regulations to not do a full safety briefing on a commercial flight?

Yes, the lack of passenger briefing is a breach of one of the following technical standards from the “South African Civil Aviation Authority”:

  • SA-CATS 121 Air Transport Operations: Carriage on Aeroplanes of more than 19 Passengers or Cargo
  • SA-CATS 135 Air Transport Operations: Carriage of less than 20 Passengers or Cargo

It seems impossible to deep-link to the documents, but a complete list of acts, regulations and standards can be found here. The relevant part of the regulations can be found here (the requirements seem identical regardless of the number of passengers).

There is also a similar regulation from FAA in 14 CFR 91.519: Passenger Briefing.
