#ParasiticParastatal – SA Express is just another bottomless pit swallowing taxpayers’ money
It is disturbing to realise that recently another enormous lifeline was quietly given to SA Express while all the attention was on Eskom, the SAA and the SABC.

South African unions have joined forces to take on the Rothschild family, which they have accused of being involved in attempts to ‘capture’ the country’s State Owned Enterprises (SOEs).
