Minister knows SAA is a dead duck but he cannot be seen to be killing the golden goose of jobs
It’s really not complicated. Public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan knows that SAA is a dead duck, that it has been raped and pillaged by the ANC and its cohorts. Central to ANC speak is that the party must not be seen to be putting workers out of jobs, so Gordhan needs to make clear that it is not his desire for SAA to fold, throwing thousands out of work.
He needed an alternative but could not ask for more money. You see, it’s not the government’s doing, nor the government’s fault. The political art of doublespeak and grandstanding. Gordhan does it quite well, I think.Send us an e-mail with your comments. Letters of more than 300 words will be edited for length. Send your letter by e-mail to
