Pravin Gordhan says there’s no money for SAA wage demand | IOL Business Report

JOHANNESBURG – Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan has washed his hands of strike-ridden SA Airways , telling the national carrier and unions that the government could not afford the unions’ wage demand, as it had no additional funding.

SAA acting chairperson Thandeka Mgoduso said yesterday that Gordhan told the unions and SAA executives that the government would not get involved in the wage dispute. Mgoduso said Gordhan made it clear that both the Department of Public Enterprises and the National Treasury had no money. Gordhan met the two parties in Pretoria yesterday.

Mgoduso said Gordhan told them that the government was committed only to the R2 billion guarantee that it promised for SAA operations. “You’ve got to acknowledge that the fact that the players that will resolve this are the executive and the unions, not the minister ,” Mgoduso said.
