So....before those elections, people couldn't buy things for money? It had to be some kind of political favour?

I don't know the answer to that (rhetorical?) question - but I suppose the real question is who paid them?
Anyway, it's great that SAX made a profit - one day Mango might do the same. But the bottom line is that they should be standing on their own two feet
all the time. It's all very well being proud of how profitable SAX is, but the fact of the matter is that they know if times get tough, it's bailout time. Companies like 1T, Comair etc know that if things go bad, that's it...game over. No second chance, no magic parachute. It makes for more cautious thinking on their part I would imagine.
