SAA is deep in debt, has not made a profit since 2011 and the government has refused to provide more funds to the administrators who are trying to rescue the troubled state airline. Friday is the deadline for trade unions representing 5,000 staff at South African Airways to accept a severance package. Nick Fadugba, a former Secretary General of the Association of African Airlines, tells the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ's Russell Padmore, the government has an opportunity to team up with a big international carrier, to create an airline that would be a major force in the continent's aviation industry.
