SAA and other SOEs putting the country on trial – Gidon Novick

Former co-Chief Executive Officer of Comair, Gidon Novick brought the low cost airline business to South Africa. But he grounded himself in 2011, headed Vitality for three years and became an entrepreneur in the tourism sector, that he believes still has immense untapped potential. In an interview with Alec Hogg, he has also weighed in on the debate on whether it makes any sense in holding onto the ailing national airline South African Airways and whether he would consider stepping in to run SAA. – Linda van Tilburg
