Mboweni: Do we really need SAA?

South African Finance minister Tito Mboweni again expressed his doubts about the need for a national airline less than a month after agreeing to find the cash for a R10.5 billion ($685 million) bailout of the stricken carrier.
 
Of course we need a state airline, how else will rural people living in poverty in the Transkei go on their international holidays?
 
No, what you needed to do is spend all that nail out money on public transport so that people don't need to wake up at 3am so that they can be at work cleaning offices at 7am.

Public transport and conditional tax breaks goes a long way in enabling an economy to grow.

Suddenly, the jobless vandal ****er can go to work at a nee international corporate who set up shop here because of favorable tax conditions and employees being on time. The jobless vandal ****er is now a tax paying ****er and didn't burn down a school or vandalised a shop in the CBD. Everybody wins, especially the economically active ****er.
 
Government mister and their kin ................ what travel would look like without SAA.

No. That would just turn into feeding frenzy for tenderpreneures.

Public transport gets a huge amount of money from government already. Like it or not, the taxi industry is the way most people actually get around in this country.

No we don't. Or if we do, do we really need Mango and SA Express...? 3 competing companies from the same stable. Both have eaten into SAA's profitability (ignoring the useless people that assisted in running it into the ground).
 
Theres obviously a power play between pro communist Pravin and this man who has to balance the books. Selling SAA opens the gates to privatisation on a grand scale and Uncle Pravin would fight that to the death.
 
Rhetorical question. Did you forget how Dudu Myeni explained to us at the time that SAA belongs to the state and the state belongs to Jacob Zuma?

SAA obviously belongs to RamaFlightCentre now..
