And while we're about it, instead of spending R30 billion on say 600 000 RDP houses or 2000 schools, let's spend it on subsidising the losses on a massively loss-making airline for the middle class in an industry where private airlines, despite predatory pricing from our subsidised govt airline, manage to make a profit. The R30 billion, therefore, is clearly wasteful and fruitless expenditure as it could have been reduced to zero by privatising SAA.
