The league says its noted reports that the airline is facing internal and external forces that are trying to fight change when it comes to procurement and Employment Equity.
The league has listed a number of factors it’s concerned about, including ghost employees in SAA’s books, deliberate attempts to give white-owned suppliers tenders, and a lack of black pilots.
Secretary-General Meokgo Matuba says, “We want a commission of inquiry whereby Parliament will look into these issues that are being raised. It’s not going to be SAA only, we’ll go step-by-step with state-owned enterprises and to ensure that there’s real transformation.”
The league says there are internal and external forces who are using all their powers to fight any attempts to transform SAA and other state-owned entities.
