This is the new SAA CEO’s plan to save the airline

Newly appointed South African Airways interim CEO Thomas Kgokolo has detailed his plans to return the struggling national carrier to operation.

Kgokolo’s appointment comes as a 15-month business rescue process of SAA, led by Les Matuson and Siviwe Dongwana, nears completion.

Started in December 2019, the business rescue practitioners set out to return SAA to solvency following successive years of major financial losses due to gross mismanagement and rampant corruption.

Good to see us giving jobs to South Africans for a change.

Run it AS A BUSINESS. With no racism, free rides and "special tenders" and it will make money and jobs.

Don't do that, and we're just going to be going full circle and wasting more taxpayer money.

 

[Corelli]

Why filling executive vacancies? What executives you want to hire?

Honestly no passion for flying or experience?

Well Durbanville International here we come.

They plan to keep getting more bailouts from taxpayers.
End of plan.

The smile of a man who knows he's getting a R30 million golden handshake for doing nothing when he leaves in 18 months.

Good luck with your 'new' plan. I for one won't use your excuse for an airline.

Where is he living? In cuckoo land. Who in their right mind will fly SAA again

 

[Ginad28]

I certainly won't be one of their passengers.

Only the politicians and government employees who will get a reduced if not free flight

 

[Allant99]

I won’t be flying SAA. Boycott the airline.

“It is not going to be easy, it’s going to require thinking out of the box. The way we used to do things in the past is not the way that we need to do things now as we go forward,” Kgokolo said.

Yeah when they start to use buzzcliches they don't have a clue

Ok, who's keen to place some bets?

That they do and the unfortunate thing is that they will get them
