Cape Town - South African President Jacob Zuma said on Tuesday his cabinet has confidence in a newly reconstituted board of the struggling state airline.
Zuma, who was responding to questions in parliament, also said state-run companies were “not at war” with each other, a reference to public disputes between firms such as power utility Eskom and the Treasury.
Many of South Africa's 300-odd state-owned companies, including South African Airways, are a drain on the government's purse and rating agencies have singled out some of them as threat to the Africa's most industrialised economy's investment grade rating.
