'No decision of this size could be done by one person': Dudu Myeni on Airbus.
Myeni is currently on trial at the high court in Pretoria after a delinquency application was brought by civil rights group Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse for alleged misconduct during her time running the airline.
Outa’s legal representative Carol Steinberg put it to Myeni that even after the then finance minister Nhlanhla Nene had approved the deal in 2015, Myeni refused for the deal to be signed. Myeni agreed that she was aware of the consequences as outlined in the e-mail but said it was up to the board to sign and conclude the deal.
“It’s a pity I have to answer for the board and they are not here to answer for themselves. Today I’m the only one here as an individual and now must account for decisions we made as a collective. What I can say to you is that no decision of this size could be done by one person. I believe there was a reason as the matter was unfolding that made the board to agree why we could not sign at the moment,” Myeni said.
