TimesLIVE reports that an application for the business rescue of South African Airways (SAA) is to be brought by the Solidarity Network, as part of a tax protest campaign that the civic organisation is launching.
This protest would include at least six legal actions against state enterprises, the organisation indicated in a statement on Sunday. Solidarity’s chief operating officer Dirk Hermann said the business rescue application would be lodged against SAA and the minister of public enterprises, Pravin Gordhan. He recalled that one year ago, Solidarity had wanted to bring the same case against SAA, but SAA’s former CEO, Vuyani Jarana, had made several promises to Solidarity. “However, these promises have not been met and Jarana has left. We must protect sustainable work at SAA … The work of our members and taxpayers’ money in SAA is too valuable to allow the airline to crash,” Hermann stated. Solidarity said it was also planning actions against Denel and Eskom.
