South African Airways (SAA) is still in negotiations with Vodacom over its contract with the state-owned airline\u2019s newly-appointed chief executive, Vuyani Jarana.<\/p>\n

According to a report by News24<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>Jarana has already sign a contract of employment with the airline, but must still serve out an unspecified notice period at Vodacom.<\/p>\n

As a result, the airline has said that it still has not received a definite date as to when Jarana will be commencing his employment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is an engagement with the current employer, because the termination of his employment requires he must serve notice,\u201d said SAA spokesperson, Tlali Tlali.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a negotiation process for the parties to find ways around that. It will be a relief as it will give us a sense of stability and certainty,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Tlali said criticism that SAA has failed to implement its turnaround strategy is partly linked to a lack of consistent leadership at the chief executive level.<\/p>\n

SAA said it has had eight CEOs over an 11-year period, including the incumbent acting CEO, Musa Zwane, who was appointed on 14 November 2015.<\/p>\n

The airline has paid close to R23 million in separation packages to chief executives and chief financial officers who did not complete their contracts.<\/p>\n
