South Africa

It is being reported that SAA CEO Alfred E. Newman Khaya Ngqula has jetted off to a luxury resort near the Kruger Park. This comes at a time when SAA is facing quote "the most serious strike in its history". Explaining to us mere mortals how priorities work in the business sector, SAA spokesperson Onkgopotse JJ Tabane said Ngqula had gone to Nelspruit to attend an important function :  

 

"The CEO was in Nelspruit where a corporate function was taking place. This was an FNB function which he had to attend as FNB is one of our biggest clients." 

 

Well there we go! However I still wonder why the Big Man needed to attend this "corporate function" in the company of his wife AND former beauty queen Mbali Gasa....the mind boggles? So again lets put this into perspective - you are a CEO of a major company which is facing a crippling strike, reports are coming in from all areas of chaos at your branch offices as well as government urgings to re-enter negotiations with labour. Do you :

 

A) Drop everything and get stuck in to find a solution to the deadlock.

B) Become concerned but allow your negotiators to handle things while you remain at the helm presenting an image of calm. Still leading from the front of course and ready to respond to the changing environment from your HQ.

C) Get one of your affiliates to fly you, your wife and a former beauty queen to a "corporate function" at a luxury resort.

 

Your right the answer in C! Welcome back Mr Ngqula, don't forget to pick up your monster Salary at payroll...
