Former SAA Boss Dudu Myeni Fined R200 000 or Two Years in imprisonment

Former Chairperson of South African Airways Dudu Myeni was fined R200 000 or two years imprisonment by the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court.

She pleaded guilty to discloseling the identity of a protected witness during testimony before the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture.

Myeni appeared before the Commission virtually in November 2020, and referred to the full identity of a witness  instead of referring to them as Mr X.

The National Prosecuting Authority hopes the sentencing of the former SAA board Chairperson will send a strong message that whistle-blowers will be protected.
