  The Department of Public Enterprises and the board of South African Airways (SAA) have appointed Monwabisi Kalawe, a relatively unknown candidate with no aviation experience, to the post of CEO. He is still to be presented to the Cabinet for recommendation by Public Enterprises Minister Malusi Gigaba, however before the appointment is formalized.
