Finance minister Tito Mboweni has come under fire for his tweets on the future of SAA.

“While he can complain about the amount and the wastage that went to SAA, he must know as the finance minister [he] is actually responsible for the state SAA finds itself in.”, the union also told Mboweni that he had no right asking questions about SAA's future.

“Your job as finance minister and shareholder is to ensure the viability of the airline as its existence is protected by the SAA Act. As you recklessly tweet this, workers at SAA have still not been paid their salaries for eight months and counting,” said the union. “Your ministry failed to act to implement a turnaround strategy for the airline. It failed to take steps to stem the corruption exposed in the procurement department of SAA AND SA Express. You have the audacity to tweet and question the future of SAA while workers are starving. Shame on you.”

The minister has stood firm, saying people who are afraid of engaging in public debate must stay away from politics. People who are afraid of public debate must stay away from politics. Why should a question on SAA get so many people hot under the collar? Come on. Grow up!! This is not a Stalinist society. People must be free to express their democratic views. Me too!On the day that you accept that you have no opinion of your own, that will be the day on which you have lost your soul. Of no intellectual or political importance.

Numsa only cares about their income which is through membership union subscriptions while the finances minister is about the economic transformation of the state. Had SAA been a private business, there was absolutely nothing Numsa would do if workers were to be retrenched.

The dark materialists agenda includes death of all airlines. F the high flyers. Consider the poor, mired in slave like poverty as you look down from on high.

Tito once said in parlianment (2018, as new dawn finance minister) , ' We need to ask ourselves, do we really need these SOE's '. He and the government have a big agenda, maybe when the new dawn anc finishes its second term of office there wont be any soe in existence.
