DIRCO should account for money owed by foreign countries: SCOA
DIRCO appeared before Parliament’s Standing Committee on Appropriations on Tuesday.
The Standing Committee on Appropriations (SCOA) has urged the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) to account for the money owed by foreign nations to South Africa. SCOA Chairperson Dr Mmusi Maimane highlighted that Zimbabwe is reportedly owed over R 1 billion, which is hindering South African Airways' (SAA) efforts to upgrade its fleet.
Maimane emphasized that South Africa's financial situation is "profoundly constrained," and SAA's financial difficulties are one of the issues that have raised concerns. He questioned how SAA intends to improve its business and service South Africa's interests when it faces a debt of over a billion rands owed by Zimbabwe.
