Numsa and Sacca said they had lost faith in the Department of Public Enterprises, accusing it of sanctioning a business rescue plan for troubled national carrier SAA which would lead to 3 700 job losses.

JOHANNESBURG - The National Union of Metalworkers of South African and the South African Cabin Crew Association said they had lost faith in the Department of Public Enterprises, accusing it of sanctioning a business rescue plan for troubled national carrier SAA which would lead to 3 700 job losses.

In its preliminary response, the department of public enterprises said it was concerned that the plan might not be adequate, adding that the government would support a proposal which resulted in a viable, sustainable and competitive airline that provided integrated domestic, regional and international flight services.

The unions said it would never have been necessary to place SAA under business rescue had the government acted with integrity and competence in its management of it and other struggling state-owned enterprises.
