If SAA stopped using the airline as a personal taxi service and provider of jobs for the ANC boitjies, if they gave managerial positions and overseas postings to people with competence and experience rather than based on connections and skin colour, then it might one day function again as a proper and profitable airline.
SAA are unable to operate viable international services to/from CPT. Odd that many other airlines can, including BA and VS to London where SAA couldn't.
To fix SAA, you need to get rid of the ANC.
I think there's an extra letter in there. To fix SA, you need to get rid of the ANC.
