Case overview This case focuses on the business rescue of South African Airlines. SAA, four times rated the best airline in Africa (SAA, 2019), was already insolvent when in early 2020 COVID-19 decimated the world. The state-owned airline, which had last made profits in 2011, continued to lose millions of passengers to competitors over the next decade and, despite bailouts of more than R40bn, entered Business Rescue in December 2019, still owing creditors more than R26bn. To the surprise of many, Public Enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan was determined to rescue the airline. In May 2021, the business rescue practitioners handed SAA back to the interim board and Thomas Kgokolo (CA) (MBA) was appointed interim CEO. In June 2021, Gordhan announced a “born again” SAA, “almost ready to take off” and promised no more bailouts. But, with several billion rand outstanding to complete the rescue plan, a grounded fleet, unresolved labour problems, an critical but unnamed “strategic-equity partner” and a largely unvaccinated country entering its third COVID wave – what were the chances? Expected learning outcomes Within the framework of a country desperately in need of jobs and short of capital, the case raises questions about ethics, accountability, responsibility, management, economics and strategy. Should retrenched workers in airlines feel the consequences of their unfortunate career choices? Ought government’s bail-out already failed industries? Should governments run airlines? What sources of funds are available? Have all the necessary requirements for “restructuring” to succeed been satisfied? Supplementary materials Teaching notes are available for educators only.

Aviation in Southern Africa was subject throughout the 1980s to increasingly intense political pressures. As ever, the cause was protests about apartheid. The severe blow that black African countries dealt to South African Airways (S.A.A.), the Republic's state-owned national airline, in the 1960s by withdrawing overflying rights was magnified by similar action from a wider spectrum of non-African governments. In the mid-1980s, Australia and the United States of America, for example, revoked S.A.A.'s landing rights, and forbad airlines registered in their countries from flying to South Africa. Other carriers, such as Air Canada, closed their offices and then terminated representation in South Africa.

DEFINING THE LIMITS OF PERMISSIBLE EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION AGAINST PERSONS LIVING WITH HIV/AIDS IN SOUTH AFRICA: HOFFMAN V. SOUTH AFRICAN AIRWAYS [2000] 12 BLLR 1365.Perhaps the most positive and exciting aftermath of the apartheid era is the construction of the new South Africa upon the foundation of a Constitution and other legal instruments that are unanimous and unambiguous in two respects. The first is in their proscription of unfair discrimination and the second is in their permission of statutory and other measures aimed at eliminating the effects of past discrimination on those groups of persons who were at the receiving end of same. The provisions of these instruments as well as their tenor and spirit reveal an unmistakable national resolve to break from a culture of racial discrimination to a constitutionally protected culture of human rights for South Africans of all ages, classes and colours. Without doubt, the most important of those provisions is the equality clause of the Bill of Rights contained in the second chapter of the Constitution. This probably follows from a realization of the fact that equality is fundamental to “the maintenance and propagation of human rights in a democratic body politic, particularly in an acutely divided society” such as South Africa.

The prevalence of asthma and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in highly trained endurance athletes is rising. The type of training (i.e. endurance, or speed and power) seems to influence the airway symptoms. High-intensity exercise and training might contribute to the development of asthma or AHR in athletes previously unaffected by these airway disorders. Repeated hyperventilation of unconditioned air, as well as air containing irritants and/or allergens has been suggested to cause thermal, mechanical, or osmotic airway trauma resulting in damage to the airway epithelium. Subsequent airway inflammatory responses may be responsible for the development of atopy-related symptoms in endurance athletes such as those observed in asthma and AHR. Eosinophils and neutrophils are the inflammatory cells that have been frequently observed to be elevated in the airways of endurance athletes. The trafficking of these cells to the airways may possibly be regulated by TH2 cytokines that are expressed in the airways in response to epithelial cell damage. In addition, these airway inflammatory responses may lead to airway remodelling similar to that which occurs in asthma. The effect of the exercise challenge itself may initiate airway atopy-related and inflammatory responses in endurance athletes. While the literature seems to support the role of local airway conditions and/or events in inducing atopy-related symptoms in athletes, it is proposed that alterations in the hormonal and/or cytokine milieu with intense competition and/or training may also play a role.

Full textAbstract:
The basis of this article is an article published by Thomas (2012) whose objective was to track over a two-year period the performance of five strategic South African state-owned enterprises with regards to issues of governance. These enterprises were ESKOM, South African Airways (SAA), South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), Telkom, and Transnet. The paper revealed that there were serious transgressions in these entities and recommendations were made to address these. The aim of this article therefore was to establish whether or not the transgressions reported by Thomas are still happening within these entities. The data was collected from the 2014/2015, 2015/2016, 2016/2017, and 2017/2018 financial reports of these entities. The study revealed that the transgressions are still taking place. With regards to issues of sustainability SAA and SABC continue to make loses, with SAA continuing to be bailed out by the South African government against the will of the South African general public. Fruitless and wasteful expenditure increased in all the five entities mentioned above and no serious action has been taken by the South African government to hold the people responsible accountable. While Telkom, Transnet and Eskom were making profits these profits are not at the envisaged level.

Full textAbstract:
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, a small group of antiapartheid activists, led by the American Committee on Africa and chair of the House Subcommittee on Africa Rep. Charles Diggs Jr., launched a campaign against South African Airways' new flights into the United States. Using the legal and political strategies of the American civil rights movement, and the fragmentation of power within the American political system, activists tried to turn South African apartheid into an American civil rights problem that American government institutions could address. The strategy was indebted to the political and legal strategies of the civil rights movement, but framing demands around existing civil rights law necessarily limited what activists could ask for and what domestic institutions could provide. In practice, the campaign's successes were limited and legalistic; where domestic civil rights law directly conflicted with apartheid law, airlines could comply with the former without really challenging the latter. And the foreign policy context meant more failures than successes, as domestic legal institutions were reluctant to involve themselves with foreign policy concerns. Their successes and failures nonetheless tell us much about legal mobilization and institutional behavior in a period of globalization where sovereignty and jurisdictional lines were overlapping and conflicting.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the recent spate of suspensions, resignations and interim chief executive appointments at the helm of the national airline, South African Airways. This challenge in the instability of management and leadership has resulted in low stakeholder confidence in the country, as it portrays an image of economic instability and political interference, particularly when the underlying reasons for the various suspensions and acting appointments are examined. This paper is purely qualitative in nature, and gives presents a critical analysis and perspective the challenges and impact of political interference in South African state owned enterprises. The study contributes not only to governance and accountability in the public sector, but also how politics can cause reputational risk for itself and CEOs in state owned enterprises and other key Government departments which are considered to be of national importance.

Full textAbstract:
Bibliography: pages. 63-66.This research consists of a wide literature review on deregulation and privatisation of airline business world wide. The emphasis is on the benefits of airline privatisation. The idea was to attempt to find out whether the deregulation of South African Airways (SAA) indeed brought about the changes that are expected of a commercial concern. These changes included cost cutting strategies and charging economically efficient fares as well as abandoning unprofitable routes. Some personal contact with the SAA Public Relations Officers in Cape Town and Johannesburg was used to gather the data used in the research. The Transnet and the Competition Board annual reports were other major sources of data. The analysis was accomplished by scrutinising the SAA financial statements as to whether SAA followed all the requirements implemented when deregulation was introduced. An econometric test was used to check whether there was any improvement in capacity utilisation at SAA as was expected to happen after deregulation. The findings from this research are that SAA did introduce new measures to try to be profitable and cut costs, such as, reducing the labour force and abandoning unprofitable routes. SAA also stopped cross-subsidisation practise, whereby loss making routes were financed by profitable ones. In general SAA introduced measures that can be expected from a profit maximising firm which is under pressure to tum profits. However, these changes have not yet produced consistent results as far as profit is concerned and is supported by the econometrics test which does not support the expected hypothesis that since SAA is now operated on commercial basis, should be able to tum profits and be efficient.

Full textAbstract:
Many organisations are continuously searching for methods which can be used to improve performance. The balanced scorecard is a management system that enables organisations to clarify their vision and strategy and translate them into action. When fully deployed, the balanced scorecard transforms strategic planning from an academic exercise into the nerve centre of an enterprise. A prerequisite for implementing a balanced scorecard is a clear understanding of the organisations vision and strategy. The basis for the vision and the strategy should be the holistic view and the information management receives during systematic strategy work. The research study addresses the integration of South African Airways (SAA) strategy with the performance management system. A comprehensive literature study was performed on performance management and the balanced scorecard. Questionnaires, developed from the literature study, were distributed amongst randomly selected respondents, in order to establish the extent to which South African Airways manages performance. The opinions of the various respondents were compared with the guidelines provided by the literature study in order to identify the best approach of performance measurement to be implemented at South African Airways. The final step of this study entailed the formulation of recommendations. These recommendations are regarded as critical to ensure the successful implementation of a performance management system at South African Airways. The following main recommendations were made: Although the empirical study revealed that South African Airways shares its strategic objectives with its management, it is highly recommended that a balanced scorecard should be used as a measuring approach for performance at South African Airways; Before any organisation can start implementing a balanced scorecard it needs a clear understanding of its vision and strategy. It is the management’s responsibility to define a vision, formulate a strategy and set strategic goals regardless of a balanced scorecard being implemented; The implementation of a balanced scorecard should always be organised as a separate project. Several different procedures describing the building process of a balanced scorecard have been presented. The research shows that, to increase the chance of a successful scorecard implementation, regular feedback must be provided to all employees and managers must hold people accountable for using the system.

Full textAbstract:
Revenue Management (RM) in the airline industry is the practise of selling fixed capacity as a service over a finite time horizon. The market is characterised by the customers’ willingness to pay different prices for the service. This creates the opportunity to target different customer segments and use price differential to attain the optimal passenger fare mix to maximise revenue. The aim is to maximise revenue and an airline can expect revenue increase of between 3 to 7 percent with the successful implementation of a Revenue Management system. The question of whether the revenue increase can be attributed to the RMS is crucial in determining its level of success and validating the optimisation strategy applied (Rannou and Melli, 2003). South African Airways (SAA) migration from Leg-based optimisation to Origin-Destination (O&D) network based revenue management optimisation created the opportunity for this study to measure and evaluate the RMS performance. Revenue performance measuring tools using inventory systems data to measure RMS performance, ASK (Available Seat Kilometre), RASK (Revenue per Available Seat Kilometre), CASK (Cost per Available Seat Kilometre), RPK (Revenue Passenger Kilometre) and cabin factor yield. The limitations relating to the performance measuring tools utilising inventory system data, is the inability for continuous measurement and the isolation of the impact to revenue due to the RMS on its own. In seeking to gauge the performance of the O&D optimisation, the Revenue Opportunity Model (ROM) is applied. ROM is a post departure measuring tool utilised to continuously measure and isolate the contribution of the RMS on SAA’s O&D network. The revenue opportunity achieved versus the potential revenue was assessed. A revenue comparison of the airlines 2014 and 2015 financial year is performed. The results of the analysis showed the O&D optimisation yielded positive revenue capture on routes that applied the correct optimisation strategy. Recommendations on the optimisation strategy to be applied on routes having average or low revenues captured are presented. The aim is to provide the SAA revenue management department with tangible solutions that would result in increased revenue for the SAA network.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: The skill of endotracheal intubation to achieve a definitive airway for critically ill and injured patients in the prehospital setting is frequently performed by advanced life support providers. Several methods may be utilised, including intubation without the use of medication, the use of sedatives or a rapid sequence intubation. There is a paucity of data available that assesses prehospital advanced airway intubation practices in South Africa. The aim of this study is to describe the advanced airway management practices of advanced life support providers across South Africa. Methods: A retrospective, observational study method was used (chart review). Electronic patient care records were sourced from private and public emergency medical services companies and collated accordingly. Results: A total of 704 cases were included. Intubation during cardiac arrest was the most common approach to airway management (n=280, 40%) followed by rapid sequence intubation (n=202, 28%), medication-facilitated intubations (n=152, 22%) and a nomedication approach (n=70, 10%). Successful intubation using an endotracheal tube was reported in 197 (98%) of rapid sequence intubation cases, 134 (88%) of the medication facilitated cases, 61 (87%) of no-medication cases and 228 (81%) of cardiac arrest cases. A first-pass success rate was described in 260 (79%) cases, with the cardiac arrest group having a first-pass success of 85%, followed by the rapid sequence intubation group (83%), the nomedication group (71%) and the medication facilitated group (61%). Hypotension and cardiac arrest were the most common adverse events. A total of 496 (70%) patients were alive at hospital handover. The average scene time and transportation time was 42 minutes and 24 minutes respectively for the rapid sequence intubation group, 42min and 27min for the medication facilitated group, 44min and 25min for the no-medication group and 57min and 16min for the cardiac arrest group. Discussion: The study described the prehospital airway management practices by advanced life support providers in South Africa. Rapid sequence intubation had the highest endotracheal intubation success rate overall and the lowest prevalence of adverse events. There was no statistical difference in survival between the rapid sequence intubation, medication facilitated and no-medication group. Due to a lack in standardised treatment guidelines, differences in fluid administration, post-intubation care, confirmation of placement and ventilation were noted. No standard approach to record keeping was found, with the quality of patient care records being variable. A standardised advanced airway management report would be beneficial as it would improve the quality of data recorded and allow for better comparisons to be made.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The South African 2006 Advanced Life Support and Emergency Care Practitioner protocols do not currently reflect the latest, best evidence-based practices for emergency care, specifically regarding induction agents in head injury patients. Recent evidence has challenged some preconceptions regarding the use and safety of Ketamine in head injuries. In response to this, the Health Professions Council of South Africa Professional Board for Emergency Care (HPCSA PBEC) has requested a review of the emergency care protocols. Objectives: To determine the evidence of effectiveness and safety of intravenous/intraosseous (IV/IO) Ketamine as an induction agent for adult patients with traumatic brain injury, the authors aimed to determine the all-cause mortality at 30 days, adverse events/effects, morbidity and rate of successful intubation associated with ketamine administration, as compared to standard induction agents. Research Question: What is the evidence of effectiveness and safety of IV/IO Ketamine in adult patients with head injury, for pre-hospital induction in advanced airway management, compared to standard therapy? Methods: The review followed a tiered approach, where three different tiers of searches were performed for articles relevant to the research question. Two authors independently and in induplicate performed title, abstract and full-text review for each potentially included article, as well as critical appraisal of 3 CPGs found in the tier 1 searches. Tier 1 searched for Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs), tier 2 for Systematic Reviews (SRs) and tier 3 for Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) relating to the research question. No grey literature searches were performed, but reference lists of included articles were searched for relevant articles. Main Results: The authors could not find any studies to include (CPGs, SRs or RCTs) in this review which would answer the research question. However, several articles were found which describe ketamine use in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and surgical patients with regards to intracranial pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure and general haemodynamic effects. Another article (RCT) was found which used ketamine as an induction agent compared to etomidate to facilitate intubation in critically ill patients. These articles provide some helpful insights as to ketamine's effectiveness and safety for induction to facilitate intubation in traumatic brain injury patients in the pre-hospital setting. Conclusions: The authors could not make any recommendations regarding the research question, and the safety and effectiveness of ketamine for induction to facilitate intubation in adult traumatic brain injury remains unclear. A lack of empirical evidence at RCT level has led to substantial knowledge gaps regarding our understanding of Ketamine and its effects in traumatic brain injury patients.

Full textAbstract:
M.B.A.This study is concerned with an investigation into the manual labour reporting system as currently operated by South African Airways (SAA) Technical. This was necessary, as a large percentage of the time sheet hours were not being captured with the net result being that costs and the resultant effects were becoming distorted. The primary purposes of this research was to identify the reasons for the current difficulties being experienced with labour cost recovery within SAA Technical in order to propose changes to rectify the impasse. The following reasons for the labour hour losses were identified: • Ineffective operational control methods. • Deployment of geographically dispersed data capturers. • Computer programming errors in the transfer routines. These problems naturally lead to a loss of control. The following improvements after rectification were noticeable: • In January 1997, average labour hour under recovery was as high as 46%. After rectification, losses were down to 15% (cf. 4.3). • The management accounting reporting document was greatly revised; thus rendering improved service to and understanding by the users. • The automated labour reporting bar scanning system currently being implemented would also benefit from the rectified computer transfer program. It may thus be concluded that the research was beneficial to SAA Technical operation and provided solid reasons for the labour hour losses. If the recommendations as presented further on in this study are adhered to, there should be no reason for the present situation not to maintain or improve the current improvements.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (LLM. (Development and Management Law)) -- University of Limpopo, 2020Corporate Governance refers to the manner in which companies are directed and controlled. It is concerned with striking a balance between economic and social goals and between individuals and communal goals. The South African Airways (SAA) has recently become one of the worst underperformers amongst the existing State-Owned Companies (SOCs). It has become evident that there was an extensive meddling in SAA’s day to day operations by its chairlady, who has been placing orders and making contractual commitments on the SAA’s behalf, as well as involving herself in managerial decisions in quite inappropriate ways. The Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of the SAA were changed within a period of four years. It had at some stage developed eight strategies within six years but implemented none of those strategies. The SAA also experienced board infightings which led to the firing of the entire board by the shareholders. The cause of these challenges, as argued in this paper, is poor interpretation and application of corporate governance principles in the SAA. This paper is intended to interpret the principles regulating corporate governance and the application thereof within the context of the SAA. In addition, the paper discusses the comparative analysis with reference to the corporate governance of South Africa and the United Kingdom (UK).

Asthma is a chronic disease that causes fixed airflow obstruction, swelling and inflammation of the lung airways. This results in shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing [1]. 3.9 million People in South Africa are estimated to suffer from the disease and 1.5% of this total die as a result, annually [2]. The disease is the 3rd most common cause of child hospitalisation in South Africa. In developing countries, the most common and affordable treatment option for asthma would be the standard metered dosage inhaler (MDI) [3, 4]. MDI’s provide a range of medications (including airway dilators and anti-inflammatories) contained within the aerosol canisters. A large number of paediatric and geriatric patients suffering from asthma are unable to produce the necessary force required to activate the standard MDI. The study investigated fingertip pinch (action carried out when activating an MDI) strengths to determine the activation force deficit for paediatric patients [5]. In addition, patients using a standard MDI are unable to track the number of dosages remaining in the aerosol canisters [5]. The study presents a solution to the above mentioned patient limitations. A sleeve attachment was developed to reduce the required activation force of a standard MDI and track patient medication adherence. Additional features included height adjustability for varied MDI sizes (55mm to 90mm in length) and paediatric patient aesthetic appeal.
