Business Maverick: SAA appoints acting CEO, lays out its funding needs

South African Airways went on a charm offensive on Friday, assuring the market that the bankrupt state-owned airline is stable, hours after it emerged that its outgoing CEO Vuyani Jarana is in a tug-of-war with the board over circumstances of his shocking resignation.

SAA looked internally to replace Jarana, as Ramasia is currently SAA’s general manager for operations and has been described by SAA board member Thandeka Mgoduso as a “professional with extensive background” as she brings more than 25 years of aviation experience. The Board of SAA wants to know how Vuyani Jarana’s resignation letter appeared in the public domain on Sunday, 2 June 2019. They suspect he leaked the letter.

However, Kingston says banks will only want to extend the payment duration of the loan if SAA can guarantee further financial support from the shareholder. This means that the airline wants more bailouts from the government and taxpayers. But there is little sign that the government wants to give SAA more money that will push up the tally of bailouts it has received since 1999 to more than R40-billion.
