He said the practitioners, appointed on December 5, were not put there to run an airline but rather to emerge with a plan so that competent managers were appointed to run the national carrier.

Gordhan said the two business rescue practitioners shared a total of R30m between them for a period of four months as their fee.

Gordhan said government had since employed the services of an aviation expert company to chart a way for a new airline to replace SAA. He said labour union representatives at SAA had participated in one or two technical workshops in designing a future airline and making a contribution.“What we require as an outcome of this process is a viable airline, retaining as many workers as we could and retaining as many jobs as we could, which is quite important in the current economic context and making the airline non-reliant on the fiscus,” he added.

With OUR TAX MONEY! OR IS THE FOLLOWING ALSO YOUR PHILOSOPHY? South Africa's FU Government ,read. The money government has doesn’t come from people or businesses, it comes from taxes. Not people and businesses

Kahle kahle then why are these BRP blamed for what they have presented, a draft plan? They can't give a final plan coz they aren't owners! Even Min of Basic Education has been presenting draft plans for schools to resume duties!!

pravingordhan That only comes when it has been established that there was something to save. And money to execute a savings plan. Part of that plan might include management changes. But, if it determined that company cannot be saved, it will be liquidated. That should be SAA.

Is this another PatriciaDeLille chicken fence scenario where government appoints a service provider but do not set out the specs required. More money down the drain. Well done treasurySA Or do you guys not simply give a damn what damage you do!
