The Department of Public Enterprises says a group of pilots is attempting to discredit an SAA flight transporting vaccines.
The flight is expected to return from Belgium on Saturday with 80 000 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine.
However, the group of pilots says the expenses incurred in sending the plane could have been avoided.
The Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) has lashed out at a group of South African Airways (SAA) pilots who raised concern over the cost of a flight to transport Covid-19 vaccines.
In a statement, the department said the pilots were "attempting to discredit a flight to transport vaccines back into the country to protect health workers from the Covid-19 pandemic".
