A severe clash has erupted between SAA's chosen new partners, with little hope of reconciliation.
In June 2021, Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan announced that the Takatso consortium would take a 51% stake in SAA. In return, they would invest R3 billion in the airline over two years.
The consortium consists of Global Airways, a full-service leasing company which owns startup airline LIFT, and an airline management company founded by Gidon Novick, a former co-CEO of kulula.com and co-founder of LIFT.
