Seven senior SAA staff suspended over allegations of dodgy dealings
Nepotism, sharing confidential bid information and irregular procurement are among the serious allegations levelled against them
A job for a daughter‚ sharing secret bid information with the outside world‚ not advertising tenders, and the irregular procurement of cargo equipment. These are just some of the "very serious" allegations levelled against seven senior South African Airways staff‚ who now face suspension over allegations of misconduct related to contracts worth billions of rand. The board of SAA’s subsidiary, SAA Technical, resolved on Thursday to suspend the seven following a recommendation from forensic law firm Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr.
