The South African government has not committed to fund a restructuring plan for struggling South African Airways (SAA), Finance Minister Tito Mboweni said in court papers seen by Reuters on Tuesday.

Administrators took over SAA in December after almost a decade of financial losses and last week creditors approved the restructuring plan, which requires at least 10 billion rand of new funds, on the understanding the government would find the necessary cash.

The minister was responding to a court case launched by the country’s largest opposition party, the Democratic Alliance, which wants to block Mboweni from using emergency powers to channel public funds to SAA.
