“It’s a lot, it's heartbreaking, it’s overwhelming and sad. Comair was like my home, but I also believe God has bigger plans for me,” says Jamain Doravaloo from Phoenix in Durban, who worked at Comair for the past 12 years.
With the announcement that business rescue practitioners are filing to put Comair into liquidation, he said the latest developments and grounding of aircraft on June 1 had been overwhelming.Labour attorney Michael Bagraim told TimesLIVE that Comair employees’ pension funds were protected from the company’s liquidation process.
Doravaloo said in the past two years, life wasn’t easy, especially at the beginning of lockdown early in 2020, as they were not paid for eight months and relied on the Covid-19 temporary employer-employee relief scheme . The payment didn’t even cover half his salary.
