The Democratic Alliance has welcomed the appointment of Siza Mzimela as the new CEO of South African Airways.
DA’s Manie van Dyk says Mzimela would do well to continue to the job of damage control done by former acting CEO Chris Smyth..
“The appointment of Ms. Mzimela, who has vast experience in aviation, represents a welcome departure from the cadre deployment policy exercised by the ANC government, which in the past has resulted in the appointment of leadership to SOEs with no real experience and expertise in the sector that they have been placed in.
“For example, the former CEO of SAA, Khaya Ngqula, who had no experience in aviation, led SAA to a loss of R16.6-billion in six years and state bailouts totaling R16.8-billion,” said van Dyk.
