Former SAA board chairperson Dudu Myeni allegedly ordered that a lucrative catering contract be given to a company on whose board she served.

The former acting CEO of SAA, Mathulwane Mpshe, described the 'nightmare' of working for former SAA chair Dudu Myeni, pictured.

In August 2015, SAA awarded a three-year R85m contract to LSG Sky Chefs. It came after the airline received numerous complaints over the quality of food from its previous service provider, Air Chefs, which is a subsidiary of SAA. After the subcommittee meeting, Mpshe remembers Myeni asking her:"Does it mean that black people can't cook?"

Mpshe told the commission that because Myeni also sat on the board of Air Chefs, it was a direct conflict of interest for her to dictate that the company should receive a contract from SAA.
