Attention: Mr R A Lees
Dear Sir
RE: SOUTH AFRICAN AIRWAYS (UNDER BUSINESS RESCUE) AND REPORTED UNEMPLOYMENT
INSURANCE FUND BAILOUTS
1. We refer you to your letter dated the 31st January 2020 and advise that the Business Rescue
Practitioners have had discussions with the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) and will continue to
have discussions with other parties to seek out solutions to alleviating the financial challenges to both
South African Airways (“SAA”) and its employees that may result from retrenchments during the
Business Rescue Proceedings.
2. Accordingly, at this stage no agreement whatsoever has been concluded with the UIF to make any funds
available for the retrenchment of any SAA employees.
Yours faithfully
