BUSINESS MAVERICK ANALYSIS: SAA: Time for a Business Unusual approachNews of the resignation of SAA CEO Vuyani Jarana has aroused a binary response: If a private sector CEO with the credibility of Jarana cannot turn the airline around, then SAA is a basket case that must be placed into business rescue or sold. Alternatively, the narrative goes that Jarana’s departure is directly linked to Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan, who interferes and micro-manages, but denies crucial support when needed. The truth, as usual, is likely to be far more nuanced. sashaplanting What bs article, a donkey speaking!!!!!

And there is the niggling issue of whether government even wants to save it.

The bet that Jarana can fix SAA is still on: Free Market FoundationLouw said in June 2018 that he was willing to wager R100‚000 that VuyaniJarana's three-year turnaround plan would not work and that by March 31 2021, Jarana’s stated timeframe, the airline would still not be profitable. Hats off to Jarana for confidence in his capabilities, that he took up Louw on the wager. The upside now is that charity or charities are about to receive a helping hand - thanks to his audacity.

Vuyani Jarana's plan to fix SAA was still bound to crash: Free Market FoundationFree Market Foundation executive director Leon Louw was adamant on Monday that a bet on a turnaround plan for SAA - under CEO Vuyani Jarana who resigned at the weekend - not working was still in place. For some reason I think given enough time Sibongile Sambo could help this SAA company as a CEO. Before any repairs can be done the damage and affected area's must be removed . Face facts, our S.O.E.'S are well and truly screwed. S.A. is f...ked. This will end up a GHOST COUNTRY.
