Business Report writes that Dudu Myeni, chairwoman of South African Airways (SAA), wants to set up an employee share scheme (Esop) at the financially troubled airline.
Sharing a podium with President Jacob Zuma during his visit to the company last week, Myeni said if the airline was ever sold, workers should have a stake in it. If the company stayed in government hands, an Esop should be set up “to benefit the people who work for the airline“. Myeni made the comments against the backdrop of apparent tensions between the airline’s employees and management, with allegations of racism and lack of transformation. Staff member and representative of the SA Cabin Crew Association, Mpho Moikangoa, told Zuma about what he said was rife racism at SAA. Myeni indicated she had asked acting chief executive Musa Zwane to set up a structure to deal with the allegations of racism.
