IOL News reports that SA Airways (SAA) board chairwoman Dudu Myeni claimed on Wednesday that there was “institutionalised corruption” at the carrier and that attacks on her reputation were the result of her attempts to crack down on it.
She told Parliament’s standing committee on finance that there were ghost employees on SAA’s books; a call centre in Florida, in the US, despite the airline not flying to that destination; revenue from ticket sales in Sao Paulo not being paid over; and inadequate monitoring of contracts for goods and services. Noting that she had been criticised for the high number of senior managers in acting positions after an exodus on her watch, Myeni said “that is the reason some people are acting in positions, because people have been found doing wrong things”. She said if MPs spoke to her in private, “I will tell you who is eating at SAA”.
