    NEW AFRICA BUSINESS NEWS (NABN) Accra, Ghana– South Africa has pledged 10.5 billion rand ($650 million) to South African Airways (SAA), one of the administrators of the ailing state-owned airline said on Friday. The administrators took control of SAA in December after almost a decade of financial losses and have been trying to keep it alive as the coronavirus pandemic compounds its longstanding problems.

    Administrators published a restructuring plan in June, more than 10 billion rand required to work has not materialized since the airline’s creditors approved it in July.

    Siviwe Dongwana told a creditor meeting called to discuss the funding issue on Friday: “We have since received a further communication from government with the support of the National Treasury that indicate that there is a very clear cabinet commitment to provide funding to SAA to the tune of 10 and a half billion.”

    “The letter also articulates that the mechanisms and the timelines are yet to be finalized,” he added.

    Dongwana added that next week the administrators would advise creditors and other affected parties about the outcomes of further talks with the government on the time frame for the SAA funding.

    Based on those talks, the administrators would assess whether there was still a possibility of SAA being wound down or liquidated. “If the funds flow early enough, then they eliminate the need to deal with the issue of a wind-down or a liquidation,” Dongwana said.

    The Department of Public Enterprises (DPE), the ministry responsible for SAA, said on Thursday that it was still trying to source the necessary funding and that it was assessing proposals from several potential strategic equity partners.
