# South African Airways has placed acting CEO John Seshibe on special leave, pending the outcome of an internal process, just four months after he took over the airline’s top executive role. The move comes amid questions about leadership and governance at the state-owned carrier. SAA’s chief legal officer, Koekie Mbeki, will step into the acting CEO role. Seshibe was appointed acting CEO earlier this year following the departure of the previous chief executive. The latest development adds to ongoing scrutiny of SAA’s management and turnaround efforts.
