Fin24 reports that South African Airways (SAA) lost altogether R31,781,701 when members of the SA Cabin Crew Association (Sacca) went on strike on 26 April.  

This was revealed by the Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba in reply to a parliamentary question.  He did not elaborate further on the matter.  On 3 May, the Labour Court granted SAA a final order against Sacca and its members.  This was after the court had granted an interim order in favour of the airline on the same day as the strike.  The order interdicted Sacca and its members from embarking on industrial action and declared the industrial action an unprotected strike.  Meanwhile, the national carrier's net loss for the 2017/19 financial year is projected to be R853m, which will be significantly less than had been initially projected.
