The department views the issues raised by the transport union SATAWU in a
serious light. The allegations raised by South African Transport and Allied
Workers Union (SATAWU) had been brought to the attention of the Chairman of the
Board of SAA, prior to the article in the Sunday Times. With due regard to
governance processes, as the shareholder, we await the urgent response from the
board on how they propose to deal with the investigation. We will work with the
Board of SAA to ensure that the issues raised are thoroughly and independently
investigated.
