Summary

  • South Africa's Minister of Public Enterprises, Pravin Gordhan, has been given 30 days by the court to decide on the sale of Mango Airlines, a low-cost subsidiary of South African Airways.
  • Gordhan's delay in making a decision has been ruled as "unlawful and constitutionally invalid," and failure to make a decision within the given time will be considered as approval for the sale.
  • The sale of Mango has been delayed for almost a year. The Minister had concerns over the preferred bidder, but the court has now ordered him to act with the information provided and make a decision.
