I agree. There just isn't any evidence to suggest this is a Comair issue. In fact in the past SAA took a lot of the flack about baggage lost/delayed/pilfered. But that was probably more because they carry by far the most passengers through JNB than any specific SAA thing.

So blame the real culprit - ACSA. In fairness the theft issue appears to have abated somewhat. I believe the recent hoohah about delayed luggage was due to broken equipment. Not surprisingly, again, it's ACSA's fault. They are also responsible for the shabby apron buses that never turn on the air conditioning - cost savings, you understand.

And they imagine they can be privatised one day. Apparently they haven't realised that most fund managers are serious road warriors and their reputation will preceed them when they go to tout the company for listing.
