'' He said the new airline would have a different structure to SAA, and would be focused on staff efficiency and strong leadership.

Hahaha where are you going to get that staff? The anc supporters?

Mantu added the new airline should be a catalyst for investment, job creation, and economic growth – and that the government must continue to play a role in its operations.''
is mantu a comedian? This is his opening line

Doesn't SAA lease all their aircraft, hence a proposed asset sale from the current liquidation being minimal cash inflow.

Lease most. There is still couple they own. AFAIK the airbusses are owned? Boeings are leased. Something like that.

This will never de a good idea in SA. It will always fail. The government do not have the capability to run any company.

There will be a private partner involved like Telkom.
 
Well you see the real problem at SAA was the fact that it was infected with whiteness. We get rid of whiteness and we fix all the problems
 
"Winded down". At first brush I thought it was a editing error meaning to read "wound down".

But, on second thoughts, "winded down", too, aptly describes SAA.
 
The ANC actually learned something: You can't flog a dead horse..

Instead you let the old one rot on the ground and you get a fresh one to flog in its place!

And the fresh one is also borrowed, like the dead one!
 
To liquidate means admitting failure.
Beyond their thick skulls.
 
With SAA closing down and all it brings back memories of a crowded SAA flight that was cancelled some years ago.

A single agent was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travelers.

Suddenly, there was this angry passenger who pushed his way to the desk. He threw his ticket on the counter and said, "I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS."

The check-in agent replied, "I'm sorry, sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these people first; and then I'm sure we'll be able to work something out."

The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?"

Without hesitating, the agent smiled and grabbed the loudspeaker microphone. "May I have your attention, please?", she began, her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. "We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him with his identity, please come to Gate 14".

I tell you the people behind him in line started laughing, the man looked at the SAA agent, if looks could kill and said, "F*** You!"

The check in lady, she smiled politely and said, "I'm sorry sir, you'll have to get in line for that, too."

Bye bye SAA

Just thinking about it, probably the major difference with the new SAA, will be the lack of aircraft.

Could be a bit challenging ......
