PRESIDENCY WORKING WITH NATIONAL TREASURY TO ADDRESS MATTERS

21 AUGUST 2016

The Presidency has noted media reports alleging a rift  between The Presidency and the National Treasury in relation to providing support to the South African Airways.

The rumours and gossip published in today's Sunday Times on the matter are false and regrettably, The Presidency was not asked for comment by the newspaper.

The Presidency and the National Treasury are working well together on this issue and are seeking solutions together.

Statement issued by Dr Bongani Ngqulunga, The Presidency, 21 August 2016
