Sad end to an experienced airline and in earlier years a most experienced and respected operator. Spent a fair amount of time in SA during the nineties. Went back last in 2018 after a gap of ten years, for the rugby and to see old friends. What a change. Regular power outages.Railway and ports lacking investment, high crime and road traffic accident rates. Very high unemployment. The young ( those that could) going to the U.K., US and Europe looking for an education and a new life. The Rand in decline. Cannot see SAA being resurrected as a long haul operator. There has been too much looting of SAA by political appointees and the ANC for it to come back from the dead.
