Aviation authority grounds Comair and SAA planes

https://www.timeslive.co.za/news/sou...nd-saa-planes/

The board at SAA denied claims by SAA’s legal, risk and compliance executive Vusi Pikoli that the airline had been infiltrated by an international crime syndicate that had looted hundreds of millions of rands through questionable tenders, including the supply of possibly suspect parts.

The paragraph you quoted is old news and not related to the headline or this thread's title.

Actual summary of what happened: SAA Technical failed an audit and some (not all) planes have been grounded, limited number of cancellations and disruption
