The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse has responded to South African Airways group CEO Vuyani Jarana’s resignation, saying it is a sign that the national carrier cannot be saved as long as it is wholly State-owned. SAA confirmed Jarana’s resignation on Sunday evening, adding that his four-page resignation letter had been accepted by SAA chair JB Magwaza. Jarana cited a lack of certainty around the funding for his turnaround strategy as a stumbling block in efforts to turn the carrier around. In a statement released on Monday, Outa executive director said South Africans had watched for 11 years as government continued to fund SAA to the tune of R50-billion to keep it afloat.
