# The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse says government procurement processes and political interference will always hinder South African Airways’ ability to succeed in the medium term. The state-owned airline is reportedly in need of an equity partner to save it, after exiting business rescue and the failed Takatso Consortium deal. Earlier this year, SAA reported a loss of 771-million-rand. Outa’s Wayne Duvenage says without an equity partner that has a controlling interest, SAA will not be profitable and will have to rely on future bailouts or face closure.
