Zazi Nsibanyoni-Mugambi, Sacca spokesperson says the organisation has tried to bring forward charges against the other members of the board for their involvement in the decline of SAA, however, those cases amounted to nothing, according to SABC News.

Nsibanyoni-Mugambi says the report does not even begin to uncover the corruption that has taken place at SAA over years, adding that maladministration had been taking place well before Myeni was appointed as chairperson.

Former SAA chair Dudu Myeni among 1st to be recommended for prosecution

Briefly News previously reported that after three years of hearing countless testimonies and evidence at the State Capture Commission of Inquiry, Acting Chief Justice Raymond Zondo has made the conclusion that South Africa, under the leadership of former President Jacob Zuma, was indeed captured.

In addition to this revelation, Zondo made a series of recommendations in the first part of the State Capture report on who should be tried for their active role in misusing state entities to advance themselves ahead of the South African people.

Dudu Myeni, the former South African Airways chairperson, is among the first people who have been recommended for prosecution by Raymond Zondo.

Myeni opted to not testify at the state capture proceedings out of fear of incriminating herself; however, the commission found that the evidence presented by others clearly implicated Myeni, according to TimesLIVE.

Myeni was implicated alongside Yakhe Kwinana, who headed the SAA technical division at the same time Myeni led SAA. According to the report, the pair were at the forefront of corruption and fraud within the institution and ensured that anyone who tried to stop them was dealt with in the harshest manner.
