The management of South African Airways (SAA) and the state-owned airline s business rescue practitioners were blasted by some members of Parliament for not being ready to report to the Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa) on Tuesday about progress made to date.
Probe into irregularities
Earlier this month, the SIU revealed that its investigations had uncovered irregularities in the purchase and leasing of aircraft, irregularities related to procurement processes for maintenance and technical repair contracts, the abuse of travel benefits, and irregular payments to vendors.
The investigations covered the period before the airline entered business rescue in December 2019.Â
Scopa chair Mkhuleko Hlengwa said the rescue practitioners were sent correspondence and asked to appear before the committee on March 3 following the release of the SIUâs findings. The rescue practitioners confirmed that they would attend but informed the committee late on Monday evening that they would not be available due to Matuson suffering a bereavement.
