TimesLive reports that the South African Cabin Crew Association (Sacca)‚ which represents 1‚300 South African Airways (SAA) cabin crew members‚ has slammed government for failing to act on reports revealing more than R1.8-billion in tender irregularities at SAA.
The union’s treasurer‚ Gift Bilankulu‚ said on Tuesday that this was despite the matter having been brought to the attention of the SAA management‚ the Board, former finance minister Pravin Gordhan and also his successor‚ incumbent Malusi Gigaba. The union listed at least 34 contracts that it said were red-flagged by several investigation reports. Zazi Nsibanyoni-Mugambi‚ Sacca president‚ said they intended laying corruption charges with the police against SAA’s top executives‚ including acting boss Musa Zwane and chief financial officer Phumeza Nhantsi‚ in connection with the irregularities.
