Durban - The war of words between the KZN government and SAA's business rescue practitioners is heating up. The KZN government is vehemently opposed to SAA closing its route to Durban - a decision which comes to effect at the end of February.
The local and provincial government fear that the cutting of the flights will hit its tourism industry hard. The provincial government also fear that cancelling SAA flights to Durban's King Shaka International Airport will hamper its ambitions to compete with Johannesburg and Cape Town as gateway cities to the African continent.
In the latest salvo aimed at the SAA’s business rescue practitioners, who came up with the plan, KZN Premier Sihle Zikalala questioned the practitioner's motive, saying they are seemingly creating unemployment in the country while securing employment for people in foreign lands. Speaking to the media after opening a three-day government lekgotla in Durban, Zikalala repeated statements that the closure of the route which would come into effect at the end of February was “economic sabotage” that they would not accept.
“We believe if they will still continue to talk about closing flight, shutting down on the flight to Durban it will amount to economic sabotage and we are not going to take it easy. It is something we are not going to take it easy because it is not based on scientific reports and we are not going to take that. We are not going to accept it because it will add to unemployment.
I have never known you as a coward sziks , there are two people that you need to confront face to face MYANC of mostly cowards its Pravin and CyrilRamaphosa. Ask them if we can reach 3o.5% can he resign ? Pls bro u still have my respect , u one of the few in the ANC .

None of these MYANC cowards have the balls to take on the scumbag in charge of SOEs. They just moan from the sidelines.
Hahaha this is so funny 😂 It is the ANC that is causing unemployment !!! You are the ANC - your people looted SAA as if it was your personal piggy bank - go cry somewhere else
Agreed, terminations are not based on empirical evidence which they are only trying to knit together post the decision..The BP’s decisions r no independent, largely influenced by narrow management interests within SAA. What s the plan for UK, Australia and US office’ headcounts?
Understand but sometimes you have to have pain to save the whole body . I fly a lot and out of KIng Shaka so I will feel it
the national carrier don't make profit as Myeni ran it down so fingers must be pointed at her, where were the unions?
You lit the fuse and now are complaining about the noise?
