Following allegations that private investigator Lance Epstien, contracted by SAA to investigate fraud and luggage theft, has been given 2 million voyager miles for his efforts, ID spokesperson for Public Enterprises, Lance Greyling, says that South African Airways CEO, Khaya Ngqula should come clean on these allegations.

“Recent restructuring of the air line has already cost 2000 employees their jobs and the ID sincerely hopes that these latest allegations are untrue,” said Greyling.

According to Greyling, over the past two years South Africans have paid over R2.8 billion rand in tax to SAA, adding that the money would have better spent on people who really needed it.

The ID wants Ngqula to appear before the parliamentary Public Enterprises Committee to explain the allegations.
