The business rescue practitioners of South African Express Airways SAX are set to appear before the Select Committee on Petitions and Executive Undertakings to address concerns over the liquidation process and the lack of compensation for more than 600 former employees.
The South Gauteng High Court granted a final liquidation order for the state-owned airline in September 2022. At the time, the Department of Public Enterprise DPE, which has oversight of SAX, acknowledged that many employees would not receive any compensation during the liquidation process, as reported by Travel News .
Recently, a former employee, Hlumani Khasibe , representing 691 uncompensated employees, submitted a petition to the National Council of Provinces asking for its intervention.
