Description
‘—- For the best part of seven decades South Africa’s airline was a solid sofa in the national furniture. Its place in public discussion was no more contentious than an airline has to be. It delivered quiet returns to its owners, Transnet, nee SA Railways and Harbours, and read from a thankful distance of scandals elsewhere. Untill, in the closing years of the century, it came to the handle of Death’s Door and imported a manager from abroad…Between 1998 and 2001 became embroiled in scandals, with accusations that the foreign manager was an overpaid scoundrel who ran the airline into the ground. This book is an excellent treatment of what really happened.
