You've Got - you seem to have an inside track on this saga! Let us in on the hot gen. Lets see if your info has a similar flavour to mine.
Made a few calls and it appears there is a tie up between a Durban based "business man" who's into chickens, roads, property development and of course aviation, and a local MEC (transport????).
How nice - make friends with a government dude and let him find all the nice stuff that will make lots of tom - then set up a company with the oh so necessary BEE structures and bobs your aunty - you're in the pound seats.
OK - so who's got a list of gov blokes that I can latch on to?
