SAA suspends all operations

[supersunbird]

Perhaps the BRP s should be investigated ?

For doing the right thing?

 

[supersunbird]

Oh please. The budget will, as per usual practice, be siphoned off the medical equipment and infrastructure budgets, the budgets to upgrade the railways, the budgets to sort out our ports and the budgets to get our science and technology facilities back to where they should be.
If they close down SAA then you can all call me a naive fool- I really won't mind at all because I will be so happy.

You mean restore the stolen current railways surely:

SAPO and eskom next, please.

I suspect at the last minute they will be granted R20billion out of thin air and the ANC will look like the Messiah of bailouts yet again.

Its already been promised, problem is and this is a new lesson for government, there really is no money.

 

[Oldfut]

What a stupid saga and by the time any real decision is reached or forced upon SAA a significant amount of money would have been spent on the BRP and what salaries they are paying anyway. Sort of like Zondo Comm; much about lots of rotten ANC thieving but very expensive and zero positive result.

What it does show is how weak and indecisive Cyril is. Jamnadas says he's getting R10bn odd, Tito says he isn't and each do their own thing.

Unfortunately that may be as bad or worse than the black hole SAA.

what ever happened to dudu?

 

[supersunbird]

what ever happened to dudu?

She is appealing her delinquent director court finding:

No petrol money? 'Dudu Myeni has known about the court dates for two years'

Meh, will still probably end up in some cushy job *shrug* Or redeployed as diplomats. SA probably has the worlds' greatest pool of criminals deployed as diplomats.

Would like to know what the BRPs are paid. At what point has the money REALLY run out where they cannot pay themselves?

 

[RedViking]

SAA R.I.P.


SAA 2 born.

 

[B-1]

Gonna get interesting, the 10billion isn't even enough to save SAA and by the time they get it it will just pay off some debt.

 

[thestaggy]

Government would be liable regardless.

I understand, however if they are liquidated do the creditors not immediately call in their debt?

 

[Pegging]

So how will drugs be brought into the country now?

 

[thestaggy]

As opposed to?

As opposed to SA servicing or contributing to the servicing of the debt over a period of time?

Like I said, I don't fully understand as this is not a regular company that can just be liquidated and life carries on once the creditors receive their 0.20c per rand from the selling off of assets.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Cool, liquidate Eskom next.

What would you replace it with? I am in two minds as I seem to require a bit of electricity at random times but maybe that's just my problem?

There are no railways to upgrade anymore. They've been radically transformed and decolonised. I don't see railway working again in this country.
