SOUTH AFRICAN AIRWAYS BILL TO BE WITHDRAWN FROM PARLIAMENT
- 07 August 2025
- Parliament
- SA Legal Academy
Cabinet has approved the removal of the Repeal of South African Airways (SAA) SOC Limited Bill from Parliament’s legislative programme. This is according to a media statement on Cabinet meetings held on 22 July and 6 August 2025.
Tabled in January 2024, the Bill seeks to facilitate SAA’s ‘repositioning and restructuring’ by providing for ‘a strategic equity partner’ with a 51% shareholding in the airline. However, less than two months after the Bill’s introduction in Parliament negotiations between the parties concerned collapsed – rendering the Bill ‘unimplementable’, along with various other conditions underpinning the transaction envisaged at the time.
It is not clear why the Bill was revived in July 2024, having lapsed when Parliament rose for the May 2024 elections.
