The government promised the airline R2 billion and another R2 billion was to come from lenders. But specialists, appointed to turnaround the national carrier, say the government has not yet provided its portion of the funds and that the R2 billion from lenders has been exhausted. The NTM has met with the business rescue practitioners of SAA over how the R2 billion it received from lenders was spent. The NTM says the situation is so dire, the airline will be forced to suspend some of its flights and delay salary payments if it does not receive the funds soon.

President of the National Transport Movement Mashudu Raphetha says, “The first R2 billion that they were given they showed the unions how they spent it. The government currently does not have cash available. We are very much worried that should the government not speed up this process, there will be a situation that happened in November where people did not get paid on time.
