Deal to Sell Majority Stake in South African Airways Collapses, Minister Confirms

The plan to sell most South African Airways SAA has fallen through, the countrys minister of public enterprises, Pravin Gordhan, has said. Although the government and Takatso had previously approved the sale, Gordhan said there was no obvious way forward following a fresh business and asset appraisal. The agreement had been negotiated for three years. The COVID19 pandemics effects on air travel caused SAA, which faced liquidation concerns before filing for bankruptcy protection in 2019, to experience significant financial difficulties. To break the cycle of bailouts, the government has looked for a strategic equity partner to stabilise the airlines finances. As a result, a controlling interest sale to the Takatso Consortium was scheduled for 2021, aiming to end the cycle of bailouts to the flag carrier. Read More..
