Johannesburg - Public purse watchdog the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) says that it is pleased that former SAA board chairperson Dudu Myeni s status as a delinquent director was upheld by Pretoria High Court.
The ruling by Judge Ronel Tolmay means that Myeni has to step down from all the boards that she sits on and may not be a director or executive in any company or state-owned entity for life.
The judgment comes after the High Court granted the application by Outa and the SAA Pilots Association (SAAPA) for the immediate enforcement of the delinquency order against her, pending the finalisation of all appeal processes.

Zondo dismissed Zuma’s recusal application last month on the basis it did not prove any bias on his part. During a media gathering, Zondo briefed the public on his stance regarding the embattled ANC leader.
