I managed to get that article I once wrote about SAA and Coleman Andrew. I wrote this article in 2015.

In June 1998, Saki Macozoma brought Andrews Coleman into SAA as CEO. Macozoma himself left the SOE several months before his contract ended, @ShoMadjozi @LandNoli
amid speculation of tension with the then Public Enterprises Minister Jeff Radebe. 

Fact is that Andrews had his own plans to milk South African taxpayers from day one. He appointed his own company, Bain and Company, as consulting company, paying them very good fortune.
R243.1m paid to consultants he appointed, including R208.9m to US consultants Bain and Company and R118m paid to nine expatriates appointed to key SAA positions within that 14 months period as a CEO of the airline.
This chap called Coleman Andrew, was paid out R230 million, tax free after spending 14 months as the CEO at the airline as the golden handshake. What exactly this man did at SAA?

The man came and sold all the SAA fleets to his own company and
only left 9 of the planes that are now owned by the airline and 60 are now owned by  Andrew Coleman who leased the back to SAA which cost our SOE R1.4B every year. Let me put of in a simplest and layman language;

SAA sold its fleets to Andrew Coleman company 60 of them.
And Andrew Coleman lease those fleets to SAA and they pay R1.4B every year for that turnaround strategy. This country has a lot of money to play with comrades

He was paid R230M just for doing that exercise which they call it a turnaround strategy.
We need our Public Protector to probe this and see how much that can be recouped back to the SAA. 

And as we thought he was done with us; scary part is that Bain and Company is back, or, never left or fled the country on the same flight with Andrew Coleman.
In fact, this time, Andrews hits back and is aiming for the Treasury. He was appointed by the former Minister of Finance, Pravin Gordhan.

Pravin Gordon hired Bain and Company to advise on the strategy and corporate structure of the country’s three loss-making state-run
airlines to improve the benefit to the state from owning the carriers. Bain, based in Boston, was awarded the contract as part of a joint venture with a South African company, Abacus Advisory, according to the National Treasury’s website.
Abacus draft the tenders, they have an office at the Treasury, and are successful in winning most of the tenders. 

Abacus Advisory’s list of clients on the company website includes Treasury and the controversial R9billion Job Fund.

It is also alleged the corruption regarding the R28bn Integrated Financial Management System (IFMS) just for three years, this is reported by the internal auditors of the national treasury and nobody is prepared to speak about the corruption happening at Treasury.
We need to know about the said corruption these people are cleaning, which corruption are they talking about because even himself Pravin is corrupt as those he is saying he is doing the clean up?
Above everything, Andrew Coleman must account, he has to pay back the money and we need to repossess our 60 Fleets of planes.
