Suspended SAA acting CEO halts court bid for post
Seshibe seems to have withdrawn his application after being implicated in misconduct
Matshela Seshibe, the acting CEO of SAA, has withdrawn his urgent court application for the position less than five days after initiating it. The airline's spokesperson, Mphilo Dlamini, and Seshibe's legal team, TGR Attorneys, confirmed the withdrawal. TGR Attorneys stated that the circumstances surrounding the urgent application had changed, and there was no longer a need to proceed at the previous pace.
However, the firm did not clarify what had altered. The withdrawal is not an admission of defeat on the merits of Seshibe's concerns, which he continues to uphold within his original filing. SAA is set to recruit a permanent CEO, and the company will announce the outcome once the process concludes. Seshibe had been shortlisted for the permanent CEO role before being excluded from interviews and placed on special leave in August.
