A South African judge has delivered a stinging rebuke to SAA’s board for approving a shady R85.3 million aircraft lease with Flyfofa Airways — a company flagged as “high risk” by SAA’s own assessments. The Special Tribunal ruled the deal unlawful, voiding the contract and ordering Flyfofa to account for every penny paid — even when planes sat idle. The court slammed the board for bypassing proper procurement rules, calling their actions unconstitutional and costing the public dearly. Now, the SIU is poised to recover any ill-gotten profits, while top officials face potential personal accountability — including criminal charges — as the tribunal demands ministers and SAA leadership take decisive action.

Johannesburg’s fire services are in crisis after a R172 million tender for 40 specialized trucks ended with only 15 delivered—leaving 25 critical vehicles missing. Five top officials, including a deputy director and key figures from supplier TFM, now face fraud, theft, and money laundering charges after allegedly receiving payments while failing to deliver. Arrest warrants were issued, most suspects taken into custody or turned themselves in, all granted R10,000 bail. The case is set for October 28, 2026, as prosecutors dig deeper into whether this massive public contract was hijacked by corruption.
