$3 kostet det å kjøpe 51% av South African, dog med en krav om å stille opp med $185 millioner i ny kapital over 2 år. Så litt etter samme prinsippet om mobiltelefon til 1 krone

South African Airways (SA, Johannesburg O.R. Tambo) has no cash value and will be sold off for ZAR51 rand (USD3) to the private sector Takatso Consortium, but the transaction remains unfinalised with no indication of when it is likely to be completed.

In return for a 51% stake, Takatso will inject ZAR3 billion (USD185 million) in working capital over two years (reduced from three years as initially stated) and will pay the ZAR51 as its share of the nominal transaction fee required under South African law.
