South Africans have had enough of bailing out SAA
26 November 2019
Since 1994, the South African taxpayer has paid bailouts that amount to R57 billion to South African Airways (SAA).
SAA is bankrupt. The organisation is riddled with cadre deployment, corruption and entitlement amongst the unions representing its 11 000 employees.
Who in their right mind demands any salary increase at all from a bankrupt employer let alone an 8% increase way above inflation? The irony is that they have been granted such an obscene increase by giving away other people’s money.
Just this year alone R5.5 billion in bailouts has already been paid to SAA all of it having to be borrowed at huge expense to future generations.
