The government is unhappy that SAA business rescue practitioners spent between R30m and R35m on American consultants, while it has not yet seen any plan to save the national carrier from total collapse.

"We've called on the BRPs themselves - all of the consulting entities that they've brought in, which includes some accounting firms, to actually reduce fees by anything up to 40% so that they also contribute - like the staff would be contributing - to a proper outcome of this process. We've not heard from them in this particular regard."

Gordhan said the government also wanted the BRPs to reverse their decision to put a complete halt to all SAA flights on Friday, including planes that may be required to urgently repatriate South Africans stuck in foreign countries as the world battles the Covid-19 pandemic.

SAA is a parastatal, meaning that govt is the one that misused the R 35 million - Gordhan shouldn't try acting smart

We told you to sell that thing long time no taxpayer my fit the bill 😒

SA just spent R400mil on Cuban doctors. So sit down, shut up. SAA could not be rescued. You can’t be angry because you paid to be told that you can’t fix broken eggs. I would have charged you half to tell you the same thing and given you half back justsaying

Jamnandas and De Lille must be arrested

Surely if one employs a company to do a job they have to work according to a budget? Or their is a price for the contract. When political interference keeps moving the goalposts budgets tend to go out the back door and costs escalate.

I persanlly don't see the need for business practitioners in our country at all!! This process should be abolished!!

Way to go Gorden keep up the good work And slam greedy theves

Once the eff pronounces on you, only God can save you..... Pravin wa tsamaya regardless of what he says or does. Amen!

They must pay that money of consultants back. SAA needs it

If true this is ridiculous!!! SAA BRP’s spend R35mill on external consultants again? When is it going to stop? Currently I have no confidence in any BRP !🤔🤔😡😡

Minister Gordan, please GIVE whatever money meant for SAA to the POOR and HUNGRY Azanians.

What the hell is going on with this SAA maar... dammit

What? Oh no. Under whose watch did this happen? I trusted this man but obviously it was a big mistake.

Don't blame the BRP, you were told to close SAA a long time ago now you come here as an innocent man.

Why grant these BRs a blank cheque? PG you're ultimately rresponsible!! You appointed them isn't?

This guy don't trust local BRPs therefore decided to spent our money to the stupid American consultant who don't care about how we can build a profiting SOEs!

Pravin & President must be held accountable for appointing these people! SAA didn’t need this kind of nonsense they’re now blaming on everyone else except themselves. This is pure CORRUPTION & MISMANAGEMENT!!

Still dont understand why the BRP practitioners haven't resigned.This must be the most toxic environment on earth.

Yep, because BEE forced all the competent professionals overseas!

Jamnadas needs to retire now he can't get his shit together.

Pravin is going to show a lot of people flames, he's on some mission to disteoy SAA this guy

Pravin let them spend the money by not doing paying attention. SAA is his baby , how can he not be aware of this from the beginning

🤣🤣🤣

When did he resign as the Min of SAA?

weeee kanti
