NEWSFLASH: ‘I was made a scapegoat for failed SAA deal’ – Dudu Myeni

Former SAA chairperson Dudu Myeni claims she was made a scapegoat for the airline’s failed 2015 deal with Emirates, which would have netted the cash-strapped carrier at least $100-million a year in additional revenue.

Former SAA acting CEO Nico Bezuidenhout and then-CFO Wolfgang Meyer testified that Myeni called Bezuidenhout while they were in Paris in the early hours of 16 June 2015, the day they were meant to publicly sign the agreement. She said Emirates’ representative in South Africa was pressuring her to approve the deal and apparently called Zuma to get his backing. Myeni said Zuma then called her to question why he was getting calls from an employee of the Dubai-based airline.

Myeni claimed the board and not her alone had blocked the signing of the MOU in June 2015 because it was still waiting to hear from a team established to review the proposal. After returning from Paris, Bezuidenhout wrote a lengthy account of what happened to the failed deal but did not mention Zuma.

Uh huh

Oh FFS - same old tired excuses. This criminal requires charging.
