South African Airways suspended two executives including Chief Financial Officer Phumeza Nhantsi following unspecified allegations made against them in a forensic probe of the state-owned airline.

Musa Zwane, who was acting chief executive officer for two years until November, has also been placed on leave pending a disciplinary hearing, SAA spokesman Tlali Tlali said Tuesday. The airline won’t comment further while the probe is ongoing and both executives are presumed innocent, he said.
