Cape Town - The Democratic Alliance said on Sunday it is somewhat taken aback by an advert by South African Airways (SAA) which appeared on Sunday and requests applicants for the position of chief commercial officer (CCO).
"This advert has been placed despite SAA having paid out millions of rand to a very competent and skilled Sylvain Bosc, the previous CCO, to sit idly at home for about 20 months on full pay of a salary of R260 000 per month and an estimated R5.2m for the period that he was on suspension," Alf Lees, DA shadow deputy minister of finance, told Fin24 on Sunday.
Bosc joined African low cost airline fastjet as CCO in April this year. There he joined Nico Bezuidenhout, former CEO of SAA's low cost subsidiary Mango and twice acting CEO of SAA.
