“It’s a pity I have to answer for the board and they are not here to answer for themselves.”
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.
Steinberg read out a letter sent to Myeni in 2015, outlining the disastrous consequences if a decision was not taken. Judge Ronel Tolmay however pushed her to answer and clarify why, as the chairperson of the board, she delayed the Airbus deal being signed, even after getting approval from the then minister of finance.
Meanwhile, a small group of people supporting Myeni at court were accused of harassing Outa's legal team on Friday afternoon.
