SAA may not be able to pay salaries: Board - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

The strike has pushed the airline to the brink of financial collapse and SAA board member Martin Kingston says the strike is costing the airline a minimum of R50 million a day.He says they are having discussions with Treasury and the Department of Public Enterprises as they need help soon.

Kingston says the national carrier needs R2 billion before the end of the month, with the portion of that money to be used to pay workers’ salaries. He added saying, “There’s no money in the bank account to pay anybody. Not the 5.9% today, not another cost down the road. Unless and until such time that we secure the funding, we are not in a position to make any commitments to anybody.”

“I believe the unions and all stakeholders need to recognise that all they are doing is accelerating the demise of SAA, I would characterise this as extremely reckless and irresponsible and I would say that’s their prerogative,” says Kingston. and South African Cabin Crew Association called the strike last week after SAA refused their demand for an 8% salary hike.
