SAA and the Financial Strain on the tax payers.

Well once again the tax payers had to save the national carrier. We all know that a country without a National airline is seen to be a failure. Since 2010, I challenged the Various State departments with a solution to the growing debt that SAA keeps falling in and without any feedback even. Well how important do government see the financial success of our country? Clearly not enough! Sadly spoken, the watchdogs over government (opposition political parties and public protectors) also do not think it is important enough to rather have a solution than to entertain mismanagement and gain of benefit. Well what can one expect of appointing people in management positions for being so called disadvantaged in a field that there is none or little knowledge. Where they have to decide upon resources and marketing strategies without knowing the importance and how the resources operate.

Well 4 years later and still no improvement whereby there could have been a limit placed on Sponsor ships, Corporate entertainment, Selling of access assets not utilized at market prices, sign of frequent contracts as available on an online magazine, invest in foreign low cost airlines,  limitations on certain benefits on certain routes, etc. Well it is common sense that needs to be applied. I might be wrong but it is clear that although everyone is upset about the state of the situation, nobody actually cares otherwise something would have been done about the state of operations. As seen and worried about is with the non profit continuation, more of our domestic income will fly out of South Africa on SAA with a lost of Valuta. Once again I should congratulate the management of the SAA for their part in making South Africa poorer and for their contribution to our poor economy.
