NATIONAL NEWS - Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba says that the new South African Airways (SAA) board will bring talent, expertise and energy to the airline.
He confirmed sweeping changes to the board in a statement issued a short while ago.
Gigaba says businessman JB Magwaza will replace Dudu Myeni as board chairperson, with new member Nolitha Fakude to serve as his deputy.
Cabinet approved the appointment of six new board members when it met on Wednesday and endorsed the five non-executive directors who’ll continue to serve.
The minister says that he’ll have a special meeting with the new SAA board on 3 November, when the appointments take effect.
