Looming SA Airways strike could leave Bafana Bafana stranded in Ghana BraMahlatse

Coach Molefi Ntseki’s charges have their backs against the wall as after playing against Ghana in the opening 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Thursday night‚ they have to rush back to Johannesburg in time to host Sudan in another qualifier to be played at Orlando Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

This was in response to the cash-strapped airline saying that more than 900 staff could be affected by restructuring as unions demanded a wage increase. “What we understand is that the strike may not have an impact on incoming flights to South Africa‚” said Mokoena. But should Bafana use Ethiopian Airlines‚ there is a possibility of friction between Safa and SAA as the two parties have a five-year partnership. The sponsorship agreement is in its third year and secures SAA as the official airline for Bafana and other SA national teams.

SAA confirmed that other regional flights will also operate as normal on Friday morning‚ including SA147 from Maputo‚ SA067 from Lusaka‚ SA025 from Harare and SA073 from Windhoek.
