Remind me please...

Is it so that SAA operated 2 of these machines? I seem to recall reading that one of them was to be demolished with earthmoving equipment after being stripped of valuables & I think I recall seeing a tender invitation to demolish and remove the second? Did this ever happen? If so, what a sad ending for such a remarkable aircraft. Good to see at least one being preserved, though it is a rather large "keepsake".
