"The suggestion that Mr Bezuidenhout has misrepresented his qualifications and that the board of directors lied in its statement on this matter, is unfortunate," said Tlali.
"We have taken note of Ms Michael’s statement indicating that she has written to the chairperson of the portfolio committee on public enterprises to have this matter investigated."

SAA admitted that annual report is incorrect, but is adamant that Bezuidenhout has never misled the airline about his qualifications.
In terms of the Right to Information Act the DA has obtained Bezuidenhout's CVs. The CVs were handed in by the aviation licensing board in 2006 as part of an application to start SAA's low cost airline Mango.
