Myeni rejected R1.5bn Emirates deal with a WhatsApp text to former SAA CEO, court hears | IOL News

Pretoria - Former SAA acting chief executive Nico Bezuidenhout is sticking to his guns that the former SAA board chairperson, Dudu Myeni, allegedly told him that former president Jacob Zuma did not want him to sign a R1.5 billion deal with Emirates.

Bezuidenhout reiterated his version in the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria on Tuesday, following an accusation by Myeni’s counsel Advocate Nqabayethu Buthelezi during his cross-examination. In his report on July 6, 2016, to Myeni and the board, Bezuidenhout reported that he did not sign the deal following a meeting with Myeni held with the former president.Addressing Bezuidenhout from the bar, Buthelezi insisted that Myeni did not tell Bezuidenhout that former president had instructed him not to sign the deal.“She formed me at about 2am in the morning. She was upset that the officials of Emirates had contacted the former president as I did not have permission to sign the deal.
