QUESTION NO.: 234
DATE OF PUBLICATION: 17 May 2012
234. Mr H B Groenewald (DA-NW) to ask the Minister of Public Enterprises:
Whether, with regard to the concerns raised by the Auditor-General in 2011
in respect of the inability of the SA Airways to generate income to fund
operations, he will consider a bail-out in this regard; if not, why not; if
so, what are the relevant details? CW330E
Reply:
I am not aware of the concerns raised by the Auditor-General in 2011 in
respect of the inability of South African Airways (SAA) to generate income
to fund operations. The Annual Reports of SAA for the 2010/11 and 2011/12
financial years do not contain such information. I therefore request the
Honourable Member to provide information as referred to in the question.
